It is possible, but we don't have crafted policies ready to go for the services 
and the linux firewall may have some limitations with respect to some multicast 
related commands that you probably don't use anyway.  Depending on the 
functionality you use, you could spend a short while or a long while creating 
some selinux policies and also using chcon to manually fix up contexts in some 
cases.  In short, it should be possible, but we don't have it documented.

It has been a focus to be more firewall and selinux friendly as confluent comes 
along, more carefully documenting rules and limitations, but it can't deploy 
operating systems yet (also the web forwarding feature is currently 
incompatible with firewall, and discovery bumps into an unfortunate reality 
that RELATED,ESTABLISHED does not seem to do a good job of matching unicast 
replies to multicast queries (or we've missed something).

Hi All,

is it possible to use xCAT having firewall and selinux on. By opening up the 
ports which are required by xCAT

by default, it disables the firewall while installation.

Any thoughts !

Regards,
Pharthiphan
