RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Fangge Jin 2016-08-22 02:54:07 UTC
Description of problem:
Set security_default_confined = 0 and security_require_confined = 1 in qemu.conf, and set dynamic selinux in domain xml, guest failed to start:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7
...
  <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'/>
...

# virsh start rhel7
error: Failed to start domain rhel7
error: unsupported configuration: Unconfined guests are not allowed on this host

Version-Release number of selected component:
libvirt-2.0.0-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Config qemu.conf as below and restart libvirtd service:
# grep '^security' /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
security_default_confined = 0
security_require_confined = 1

2. Start guest

Actual results:
Guest failed to start

Expected results:
Guest start successfully, because dac driver is enabled by default.

Additional info:
If set both selinux and dac security label in domain xml , guest will start successfully:
# virsh dumpxml rhel7
...
  <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'/>
  <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'/>
...

# virsh start rhel7
Domain rhel7 started

Comment 2 Ján Tomko 2018-06-05 12:14:29 UTC
The "dac" driver cannot really be considered confinement, the error here is right.
