How to load SELinux Module For Oracleasm

by admin

Question: How to load the SELinux module for oracleasm?

When searching for the selinux oracleasm module with the locate command it may return as if the file exists:

# locate /oracleasm.pp
/etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp

However, when running the command semodule to load the oracleasm.pp module it fails:

# semodule --verbose -i /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp
Attempting to install module '/etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp':
semodule: Failed on /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp!
NOTE: DO NOT run and enable selinux directly on any active systems, test it first. Make sure ASM dependent services are stopped first.

By default the file “/etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp” does not exist in that path, which can be checked by performing an ls command:

# ls /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp
ls: cannot access /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/modules/oracleasm.pp: No such file or directory

To create the file execute the following commands:

# cd /usr/share/selinux/targeted/
# bunzip2 /usr/share/selinux/targeted/oracleasm.pp.bz2

Load the module:

# semodule --verbose -i /usr/share/selinux/targeted/oracleasm.pp
Attempting to install module '/usr/share/selinux/targeted/oracleasm.pp':
Ok: return value of 0.
Committing changes:
Ok: transaction number 0.

Check if the module was loaded successfully:

# semodule -l |grep ora
oracleasm 1.0.0
