Greetings.

You can use a number of products to monitor UCSM blades and rack servers.

One of the options is Cisco Prime Infrastructure.

A good place to start is the UCSM monitoring handbook at :https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-37197

Most monitoring applications will have some kind of licensing or costs, but you may be able to find a few opensource solutions.

Your L1/L2 cables that connect a FI pair, need to be directly connected, and cannot be over WAN. 

Thanks,

Kirk...

UCS Central will let you create globally define service profiles, pools, etc, so you can have a common management interface in UCS Central, once you join the 3 different UCSM domains to the UCS central.

UCS Central info can be found at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/ucs-central-software/index.html

Thanks,
