Description SATHEESARAN 2016-05-26 10:59:40 UTC
Description of problem:
------------------------
When 'semanage' binary tool is not available in the system,and gdeploy while executing the config script which has a 'selinux' section set to 'yes', should throw proper error message.

Currently gdeploy doesn't throw any warning and silently exits, which the user will take as success. But in reality, the correct selinux labels are not set on the gluster bricks, if semanage tool is not available. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
gdeploy-2.0-16

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Make sure to remove - 'policycoreutils-python' package which supplies 'semanage' tool. 

Note: When I installed RHEL 7.2 from iso, I never had policycoreutils-python package installed

2. Create a config file with [selinux] section set to 'yes
[hosts]
...
[pv]
...
[vg]
...
[lv1]
...
[lv2]
...
[selinux]
yes

3. Execute the script

Actual results:
---------------
gdeploy completes successfully

Expected results:
-----------------
As the config file has requirement to selinux labels to set on bricks, if 'semanage' tool is not available, then gdeploy should complain about it and should not complete silently

Comment 3 SATHEESARAN 2016-10-25 09:07:14 UTC
Tested with gdeploy-2.0.1-2.el7rhgs

When 'semanage' command is not available, gdeploy throws relevant errors and doesn't fail quietly as it used to do earlier.

Errors are as follows :

"failed: [dhcp37-172.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com] (item={u'device': u'/dev/GLUSTER_vg1/GLUSTER_lv1', u'path': u'/gluster/brick1'}) => {"changed": true, "cmd": "semanage fcontext -a -t glusterd_brick_t /gluster/brick1", "delta": "0:00:00.002824", "end": "2016-10-25 20:12:25.106210", "failed": true, "item": {"device": "/dev/GLUSTER_vg1/GLUSTER_lv1", "path": "/gluster/brick1"}, "rc": 127, "start": "2016-10-25 20:12:25.103386", "stderr": "/bin/sh: semanage: command not found", "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": [], "warnings": []}"
