Troubleshoot SELinux with PowerFlex issues

When troubleshooting Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) issues with PowerFlex, confirm that the issues are related to PowerFlex.

About this task

This procedure requires moving the relevant nodes from SELinux enforcing mode to permissive mode. To return to enforcing mode later on, use the command setenforce 1.

Steps

  1. Change the mode of the relevant nodes from SELinux enforcing mode to permissive mode:
    setenforce 0
  2. If the issue disappears in permissive mode, stay in this mode and run the following commands:
    semodule -l |grep vxflex
    audit2allow -a
    semanage port -l |grep vxflex
  3. Save the output to file, for sharing when opening a customer support ticket.
  4. Zip the /var/log/audit/ folder and share the file in the support ticket.
    In rare cases, the support person might ask you to change SELinux logging to a higher level using this command:
    semodule
    -DB
    This might require repeating the failed operation with this setting enabled. After the information is collected, run the following command to revert to the standard logging level:
      semodule
    -B
