The Operating System usually dictates how many LUNs are supported. From the Connectivity guide, the theoretical maximuns are listed in table format on page 21. But these are theoretical Max limits, and the OS may in reality limit this further for example in the same guide it notes:
Red Hat currently supports a maximum of 1024 devices on any RHEL 4 system.
The EMC support limit is based on the Red Hat limitation and internal qualification.
The table of theoretical Max limits and the actual limits are listed in the "EMC Host Connectivity Guide for Linux" available for download on powerlink.

Hello Uwe,
The Operating System usually dictates how many LUNs are supported. From the Connectivity guide, the theoretical maximuns are listed in table format on page 21. But these are theoretical Max limits, and the OS may in reality limit this further for example in the same guide it notes:
Red Hat currently supports a maximum of 1024 devices on any RHEL 4 system.

I hope this helps,
