See the relevant I-D http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldapv3-vlv-09
per section 6.1, you need to have a SSS control in addition to the VLV control. You're missing that, hence the server says it didn't receive the requirement. Make sure your requests comply with the I-D.
Also, the controlValue has precise requirements, and I don't see an example of that above.
Using OpenLDAP's ldapsearch(1) I believe this would go something like:
ldapsearch -z none -x -E sss=heightInCm -E vlv=0/1/0/1 -b cn=foo -h ldap.example.com (uid=user)
