In order to manage your Clariion CX arrays, you will need the Storage Agent for Clariion license. It provides deployment and full functionality (except LUN masking) for the Storage Agent for Clariion.
You will need the StorageScope license in order to manage your ESX servers. It provides deployment, discovery and monitoring for the VMware Agent.
Full details of licenses are documented in the EMC ControlCenter 6.0 Planning and Installation Guide Volume 1 on Powerlink.
With the Storage Agent for Clariion can't you still add a lun to a storage group by right clicking on the lun and selecting add to storage group following the wizard in ECC which will let you set the HLU. Essentially Lun Masking.
I know this wasn't the original question, but I'm curious why you would be deploying ControlCenter 6.0 now. Did you look at CC 6.1 and rule it out for a specific reason?
Especially where you are talking about managing ESX, there are some advantages to CC 6.1... not to mention the fact that you are going to have to upgrade at some point anyway.
For Lun Masking you need to have the SAN Manager license. The functionality you are talking about (adding a LUN to a storage group) isn't just "essentially LUN Masking"... it IS LUN Masking for a CLARiiON.
To be honest I can't imagine running ControlCenter without the SAN manager license anyway (if it is even an option), so it shouldn't be an issue.
