I'll do a block replication between two VNXe, and I was informed about mandatory to licensing "Application and Protection Suite" to use Replication Manager in this scenario.

This software is composed by server, console and agent, so, let's my doubt:

- if my server (physical or virtual) with RM components fail, my replication fails too ?

In other words, I'll be hostage of RM in my replication? I've searched in many documents but doesn't found one technical explanation and EMC Presales Support already response that isn't a dependency, but I need to understand better for explain for my customer.

Thanks.
