OCUM 7.2 went GA on
29th of June.
OCUM 7.2 includes
several new features and enhancements, the top one being:
“Unified Manager now includes Performance
Manager functionality in a single product. Starting with Unified Manager
7.2, the performance collection and analysis functionality of OnCommand
Performance Manager is included in Unified Manager. Now you can use a single
product to monitor both health and performance status of your ONTAP clusters from
a single URL and single user interface”

installation guide is for Windows; there’s also RedHat and VMware Appliance
Version of OCUM 7.2.
