EMC Storage Analytics for VPLEX licensing help

All,

Anyone have any information regarding how Storage Analytic's for VPLEX is licensed?

Example:

Dual Engine VPLEX (Local/Metro) at Site A, Duel Engine VPLEX at Site B (Local/Metro) with a 4GB link between them. We will have VMware spanning the sites.

What I've found so far from reading docu59685_Storage-Analytics-3.2.1-Installation-and-User-Guide.pdf on page 27 I see the reference to the following:

Each storage system requires an adapter instance. All storage system adapter instances

require the EMC Adapter instance for vCenter. Add the EMC Adapter instance for vCenter

first. Then add the adapter instances for each storage system. Adapter instances are

licensed per array. Observe these exceptions and requirements:

l

A VNX Unified array can use the same license for VNX File and VNX Block.

l

Global Scope is required for VNX Block access.

l

For VPLEX Metro, add an adapter instance for only one of the clusters (either one);

this action enables you to monitor both clusters with a single adapter instance.

l

For RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines, get the RecoverPoint model that is required for

the license.

So this brings me back to how many EMC Storage Analytics for VPLEX licenses do I need? 1 or 2?

If someone has run into this in the past please let me know how you addressed it. Much appreciated.

Jeff
