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 Przemyslaw Sztoch 2012-03-20 17:08:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
rgmanager can't run KVM virtual machine if:
1. selinux is on
2. service is definied as:
<rm>
  <vm name="app1" path="/srv/shared/vm" />
</rm>
3. /srv/shared is gfs2 fs

Because:
1. rgmanager uses /usr/share/cluster/vm.sh to start kvm

2. path is used then vm.sh uses:
virsh create /srv/shared/vm/app1.xml
in unconfined_u:system_r:rgmanager_t:s0

3. But virsh generate:
error: Failed to open file '/srv/shared/vm/app1.xml': Permission denied

4. And vm is not started.
Of course "virsh create /srv/shared/vm/app1.xml" is working from shell.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rgmanager-3.0.12.1-5
resource-agents-3.9.2-7

Additional info:
/var/log/audit is empty
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-03-30 06:54:42 UTC 
Is auditd running?

$ service auditd status

Does it work in permissive mode?

$ setenforce 0

If yes, then please execute

$ semodule -DB

re-test it and run

$ ausearch -m avc -ts recent
Comment 3 Przemyslaw Sztoch 2012-04-05 08:46:05 UTC 
audit.log is empty. It was very strange for me.

If SeLINUX is off, vm is created without any problem!

I had modified vm.sh and created extra log file for "virsh create". Then I captured "error: Failed to open file '/srv/shared/vm/app1.xml': Permission denied"

This problem was at production cluster and I can't easly turn on selinux, now.
Comment 4 Przemyslaw Sztoch 2012-04-05 08:48:50 UTC 
Of course if you do not use path argument, then vm.sh will use "virsh start". "virsh start" is working correctly. Only "virsh create" generates error.
Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-05 09:04:05 UTC 
What is your version of policy?
Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-05 09:04:39 UTC 
Cluster folks,
could we test it?
Comment 7 Przemyslaw Sztoch 2012-04-05 10:48:55 UTC 
selinux-policy-targeted.noarch-3.7.19-126.el6_2.10 (and full upgrade)
Comment 9 Przemyslaw Sztoch 2012-06-08 22:16:35 UTC 
IMHO I am providing the requested information for you... Please, escalate this bug.
Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 06:59:35 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 12 David Vossel 2014-11-24 17:01:59 UTC 
Is this still a problem? I am doubtful there is anything to be done to fix this in the resource-agents package.
Comment 14 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-09-10 05:44:10 UTC 
I can´t reproduce this problem in RHEL6.7.

Please feel free to reopen the bug in case it is still an issue.
