[libvirt-users] How can I make sVirt work with LXC (libvirt-0.9.13)?

[David Kang]

 Hi,

 I've installed libvirt-0.9.13 on RHEL6.2 from the source code.
I cannot make sVirt working with LXC. (sVirt works well with KVM, though.)
I can start an LXC instance, but the label of the process is not right.
Can someone help me? 
I tried to change /etc/libvirtd/lxc.conf file to explicitly enable
security_driver = "selinux". 
But it ends up with error saying "error : virSecurityDriverLookup:74 : internal error Security driver selinux not found".
SELinux is in a permissive mode but is not enforcing.

 The current situation is as follows: 

* The label of an LXC container is not properly done:

$ ps auxZ | grep lxc
unconfined_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 27998 0.0  0.0 34716 1160 ?  Ss   11:54   0:00 /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc --name instance-0000001f --console 16 --security=none --handshake 19 --background --veth veth1

* This is the lable of libvirtd process:

$ ps auxZ | grep libvirtd
unconfined_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 27376 0.1  0.0 919052 5324 ? Sl   11:51   0:00 libvirtd --daemon

* Here is the xml file that I used to run LXC instance, which was generated by OpenStack:

<domain type="lxc">

    </filesystem>
    <interface type="bridge">

        <parameter name="DHCPSERVER" value="10.0.0.3"/>
        <parameter name="PROJNET" value="10.0.0.0"/>
        <parameter name="PROJMASK" value="255.255.0.0"/>
      </filterref>
    </interface>
    <console type="pty"/>
  </devices>
</domain>



* Svirt works well with KVM as is shown below:
