Preston,

EMC's documentation doesn't mention SELinux at all -- therefore, I fail to see how that is the same as EMC requiring it to be turned off... Has someone official at EMC stated the position you just did?

I don't believe EMC currently have intention of supporting SELinux.

The latest release - v7.5 explicitly requires SELinux to be turned off in order to even reliably start the client daemons.

Cheers,

Preston.
