Licensing you would need:
When you are doing VMFS replication using a proxy host, it requires an Replication Manager Proxy license. The proxy is the client license so you don’t need a client/agent license So you would need:
Software you need:
On PowerLink, we have all the user documentation for Replication Manager. In those documents, we list the software requirements for the various configurations. Hope this helps.

1. RM Server
A. RM Server
B. RM Agent
C. RM Console
D. Do I need solution enabler for CLARiiON support? Yes.
E. Do I need NaviSphere Agent & CLI for CLARiiON support? Agent is optional, CLI is must.

Dennis,
Hi! The Proxy Server software is not available on PowerLink. It has to be purchased. It is not available for free download.

Hi All,
Proxy Agent doesn't have to be downloaded. It's only an option for the agent configuration. Once normal agent is installed and added to the replication manager server, selecting in options of agent "Enable VMWare" designates the agent as a Proxy agent. But anyway I think that a license for proxy agent is needed.
