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 —
disabled
state only. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and later —
enforcing
orpermissive
state with the SELinux policy type set totargeted
(or with thestate
set 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.
