NimbostratusBIG-IQ CM sizing for large scale environments
I used the F5 sizing guide available for download, but it only helps for the DCD. The document https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-iq-centralized-mgmt/manuals/product/big-iq-centralized-m...

EmployeeHi DeeJz,
The document that you linked appears to give a number of devices that can be managed by one CM.
"BIG-IQ can manage up to 200 (physical, virtual, or vCMP) BIG-IP devices."
That being said, I see what you mean by potentially wanting to scale the CM to manage more than that. With that in mind, every environment is different and I wasn't really able to find any specific documentation related to sizing or scaling up a CM device. My recommendation would be to reach out to your F5 Sales Rep/Account Team to discuss sizing with them as it relates to your environment specifically.
