SAM and Basic Polling for vSphere 7 (ESXi and vCenter 7)

[LatteLarry]

I could use some help. I do not have VMAN, but I do have SAM, NCM, and NPM with unlimited licensing. What is the best I can do with the mentioned licensing and basic poling using API, SNMP etc for vSphere 7? Some general advice would go a long way for me. Here are the components of our environment and what I need monitored.

Environment:
HP c7000 Blade Enclosure
HP G10 Blades
ESXi 7
vCenter 7
NFS datastores

Need to get monitoring for:
Hardware health on blade enclosure (Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect networking)
ESXi host monitoring
vCenter alerts
VM level monitoring
OS level monitoring

** I realize VMAN would solve a lot of these problems, but the person who has the wallet isn't interested at this time. I need a solution and I'm hoping to keep it in Solarwinds.

Without the vman license you can get os metrics, some vm metrics, esx server data, but no data store stuff and no VMware alerts/events (but there's no reason you can't just alert on those events directly from venter). Hardware health for the enclosure might be doable with custom snmp pollers.
