Disabling Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux)

If SELinux is in enforcing mode, an exception occurs during the installation of IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis. Ensure that the SELinux policy is set to a permissive or disabled state. To disable the SELinux:

1. Log in as a root user.
2. Edit the config file that is in the /etc/selinux/ directory.
3. Change the SELINUXTYPE value to a permissive or disabled state. The possible values are:

   permissive

   SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing them.

   disabled

   SELinux is fully disabled.

   For example, to disable the kernel, change the value to disabled:

   SELINUX=disabled

4. Save your changes.
5. Restart the operating system.
