4.4.5. Static Configuration without Resource Labeling

Primarily used in MLS (multi-level security) or otherwise strictly controlled environments, static configuration without resource relabeling is possible. Static labels allow the administrator to select a specific label, including the MCS/MLS field, for a virtual machine. Administrators who run statically-labeled virtual machines are responsible for setting the correct label on the image files. The virtual machine will always be started with that label, and the sVirt system will never modify the label of a statically-labelled virtual machine's content. The following guest XML configuration demonstrates an example of this scenario:

<seclabel type='static' model='selinux' relabel='no'>
  <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_custom_t:s0:c87,c520</label>
</seclabel>
