2.8. Red Hat Cluster Suite and SELinux
Red Hat Cluster Suite supports SELinux states according to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux release level deployed in your cluster as follows:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 and earlier —
disabledstate only. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and later —
enforcingorpermissivestate with the SELinux policy type set totargeted(or with thestateset todisabled).
Note
When using SELinux with Red Hat Cluster Suite in a VM environment, you should ensure that the SELinux boolean
fenced_can_network_connect is persistently set to on. This allows the fence_xvm fencing agent to work properly, enabling the system to fence virtual machines.
For more information about SELinux, refer to Deployment Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
