Jon used repository version as well as version cmirror-1.1.39-10.el5 (which is 5.6 version). RHEL5.5 cmirrord was functional. Note openais-0.80.6-16.el5 is the RHEL5.5 version, which appears to fail with RHEL5.5 openais. type=AVC msg=audit(1284489475.292:38): avc: denied { unix_read unix_write } for pid=7402 comm="aisexec" key=1714636915 scontext=root:system_r:aisexec_t:s0 tcontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=shm

Dan, Is it possible to do the removal of the openais boolean as was done in corosync, or does this require a different solution? Regards -steve No this is a different problem. Miroslav I think we should just allow this.
We allow it in RHEL6.
sesearch -A -s aisexec_t -t unconfined_t -c shm
Found 1 semantic av rules:
allow aisexec_t unpriv_userdomain : shm { getattr read write associate unix_read unix_write lock } ;
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-284.el5. # cat > myaisexec.te << _EOF
policy_module(myaisexec, 1.0)
require{
type aisexec_t;
type unconfined_t;
}
allow aisexec_t unconfined_t:shm create_shm_perms;
allow aisexec_t unconfined_t:shm rw_shm_perms;
_EOF
# make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
# semodule -i myaisexec.pp
needinfo is set for sdake, but no questions are asked. does the workaround in comment #9 persist through reboots? If not, what is recommended procedure to enable that? Thanks

Due to incorrect SELinux policy, cmirror was unable to start properly, and as a result, cluster mirrors could not be started at all. This error has been fixed, and SELinux no longer prevents cluster mirrors from being started.

openAIS versions tried: openais-0.80.6-16.el5 openais-0.80.6-27.el5 'clogd' - the cluster log daemon used by cluster mirrors - makes use of openAIS checkpoints when starting up. Before a node joins a CPG (which will cause existing nodes to send a checkpoint), it attempts to remove any stale checkpoints that may be left over from previous sessions. It does this using the following logic: 1) open checkpoint 2) open failed because checkpoint doesn't exist? Done. 3) checkpoint exists - unlink checkpoint 4) close checkpoint Sometimes (most times), there may not be a residual checkpoint. 'clogd' is stuck indefinitely in saCkptCheckpointOpen (step 1 above). Here is the backtrace from GDB: #0 0x0000003348ad517a in semtimedop () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0000003178c01bfc in ipc_sem_wait (ipc_context=0x14f3d110, iov=<value optimized out>, iov_len=<value optimized out>, res_msg=0x7fff7e9c7470, res_len=32) at util.c:490 #2 openais_reply_receive (ipc_context=0x14f3d110, iov=<value optimized out>, iov_len=<value optimized out>, res_msg=0x7fff7e9c7470, res_len=32) at util.c:681 #3 openais_msg_send_reply_receive (ipc_context=0x14f3d110, iov=<value optimized out>, iov_len=<value optimized out>, res_msg=0x7fff7e9c7470, res_len=32) at util.c:720 #4 0x00000031790037a2 in saCkptCheckpointOpen (ckptHandle=7749363892505018368, checkpointName=0x7fff7e9c78d0, checkpointCreationAttributes=0x0, checkpointOpenFlags=1, timeout=<value optimized out>, checkpointHandle=0x7fff7e9c78c8) at ckpt.c:620 #5 0x000000000041ada6 in remove_checkpoint (entry=0x14f3fee0) at cluster.c:1455 #6 0x000000000041bca9 in create_cluster_cpg ( uuid=0x6385d4 "LVM-fHV1NOvCOdTcZMTYYlGPyob3LCkjCRNyKDWk4ORfIjMfpLdmK8qM7Wn0vaJ5qJ00", uuid_instance=1) at cluster.c:1519 #7 0x0000000000424428 in local_resume (tfr=0x6385c4) at functions.c:882 #8 0x000000000042ac66 in do_local_work (data=0x0) at local.c:232 #9 0x00000000004298ee in links_issue_callbacks () at link_mon.c:134 #10 0x0000000000401fbc in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fff7e9c8098) at clogd.c:51 Cluster mirrors cannot be started or tested because of this condition.
