presenting luns to red hat linux host on eva5000

when trying to present a red hat linux host on a eva5000 I get the following error when choosing the O/S type:

"Operation failed! Host mode not supported with this firmware version".

Which operating system should be used when presenting a lun to a red hat linux 4 host?

What firmware does the EVA5000 have?
In 3.xxx firmware you must use Solaris, as there's no Linux option.

Hi,
in 3110 it is Linux host type. BTW it is highly recommended to upgrade to this firmware, because the 3.028 was innactivated in March 2008

when I choose Linux host type I get this error: "Operation failed! Host mode not supported with this firmware version".

When I choose solaris the host cannot see the Lun.

Re: presenting luns to red hat linux host on eva5000

You're creating the host in Command View, right? Command View version?.

The official documentation for firmware 3.110 is here:

Host type for Linux
For smooth system operation, set the host type for Linux to Sun Solaris, except in a LifeKeeper Cluster.

Hi,
only one additional question, are they physical or virtual RH servers pls? (because if it is Linux VMware ESX server, then the host type should be set manualy as custom=000000002200282E) in the 3.110 controller firmware
