Verify that SELinux is enabled

Verify that Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled on all relevant nodes and operating systems.

Steps

  1. Run the following command on all the nodes to check SELinux status:
    sestatus
    Expected output if SELinux is enabled and set to enforcing mode:
    SELinux status:                 enabled
    SELinuxfs mount:                /sys/fs/selinux
    SELinux root directory:         /etc/selinux
    Loaded policy name:             targeted
    Current mode:                   enforcing
    Mode from config file:          enforcing
    Policy MLS status:              enabled
    Policy deny_unknown status:     allowed
    Max kernel policy version:      31
    
    Expected output if SELinux is disabled:
    SELinux status:                 disabled
  2. If SELinux is disabled, follow the corresponding operating system's guidelines in order to enable it.
    For example, for CentOS, the steps are:
    1. Run the command:
      b.	vi /etc/selinux/config
    2. Change the SELINUX line to enforcing or permissive, as needed:
      SELINUX=enforcing
      ...
      SELINUXTYPE=targeted
      
    3. Schedule a reboot of the operating system.
      CAUTION: If this process is running on a pre-deployed PowerFlex system, follow graceful shutdown guidelines to reboot a node with MDM\SDS\SDR\SDC. Refer to "Shutdown or restart a node gracefully" the Upgrade Dell PowerFlex matching your system version.
