Hi there,
I met one problem that guest fail to boot up when Selinux is enabled with guest storage
based on ceph. However, I can boot the guest with qemu directly. I also can boot it up
with Selinux disabled. Not sure it is a libvirt bug or wrong use case.
1. Enable Selinux
# getenforce && iptables -L
Enforcing
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
2. Define a guest with source file based on ceph
# virsh define /dev/stdin <<EOF
<domain type='kvm' id='13'>
<name>ceph</name>
<memory unit='KiB'>4048896</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>4048576</currentMemory>
<vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu>
<resource>
<partition>/machine</partition>
</resource>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
<features>

<devices>
<emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator>
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<auth username='libvirt'>
<secret type='ceph' usage='client.libvirt secret'/>
</auth>
<source protocol='rbd' name='libvirt-pool/rhel7-rbd.img'>
<host name='10.66.xxx.xx' port='6789'/>
</source>
<backingStore/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
</devices>
</domain>
EOF
Domain ceph defined from /dev/stdin
3. Try to start the guest by virsh
# virsh start ceph
error: Failed to start domain ceph
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
What I can see from libvirtd log is below:

4. Start it by qemu cmd
# cat /usr/local/var/log/libvirt/qemu/ceph.log

5. Disable Selinux, start guest by virsh will succeed
# setenforce 0 && virsh start ceph
Domain ceph started
# virsh list

# virsh dumpxml ceph|grep disk -A 10

I use latest libvirt build from git and
# rpm -q librbd1 librados2 qemu-kvm-rhev
librbd1-0.87-0.el7.x86_64
librados2-0.87-0.el7.x86_64
