EMC requires Linux with a real-time kernel. A normal Redhat will not
have such a kernel.
Installing a real-time kernel on your Redhat distribution is not for the
faint of heart...
That's why there are separate Linux distributions which most EMC users
prefer.
Previously the simplest one to use was BDI (brain-dead install):

But now there's also Ubuntu with realtime patches - which is the
preferred distribution for most EMC2 developers:
