This adapter leverages CA’s investment in the wide range of data collection probes that UIM has created over the years, and enables the Capacity Management product to rapidly increase coverage over the next few releases. Also, new probe support is introduced:
- cdm (CPU, Disk, and Memory) probe (Enhanced) - Increased metric support for enhanced capacity planning reporting.
- ibmvm probe - IBM Power System and LPAR support. Increases our virtualization support within the IBM product family.
