Resolution

See the following documentation:

DA Prereqs

"You have verified that Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is disabled or permissive on the computer where you are going to install the data aggregator. By default, some Linux distributions have this feature enabled, which does not allow the data aggregator to function properly. Disable SELinux, set to permissive mode, or create a policy to exclude data aggregator processes from SELinux restrictions.
For information more about how to configure SELinux, see the Red Hat documentation."

 

This applies to other components (Portal, DC)

 

For the data repository (DR) see the following documentation:

DR Prereqs

 

You have verified that the data repository processes have been excluded from Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) restrictions by disabling SELinux or by setting it to permissive mode on the computer where you are going to install the data repository. By default, some Linux distributions have SELinux enabled, which does not allow the data repository to function properly.
