When we designed the various "id" members, we ended up with:
- system-id, which is the host-uuid from XAPI on XenServer.
- iface-id, which defaults to xs-vif-uuid on XenServer but the
administrator can override via XAPI with
other-config:nicira-iface-id.
- bridge-id, which defaults to xs-network-uuids on XenServer but
the administrator can override via XAPI with nicira-bridge-id.
- xs-vif-uuid on XenServer.
This changes the latter to:
- vif-uuid, which is xs-vif-uuid on XenServer.
So, for symmetry, should we:
1. Use "vif-id" as the name (instead of "vif-uuid").
2. Add a way to override the vif-(uu)id on XenServer via XAPI with
other-config:nicira-vif-id?
Thanks,
Ben.
