Hi Dan,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes we have removed unconfined.pp from our system.

And here are the outputs for the ps command

[root at nw043b-vcma1 ~]# ps -eZ | grep sedispatch
system_u:system_r:audisp_t:s0   30135 ?        00:00:11 sedispatch
[root at nw043b-vcma1 ~]#
[root at nw043b-vcma1 ~]# ps -eZ | grep setroubleshootd
[root at nw043b-vcma1 ~]#


What kind of policies to we need to add for vmtoolsd ?

Thanks,
Anamitra
