I'm wondering how to use OVS in distributed setup. I have a couple of Xen
hypervisors and want to migrate VMs between them - of course together with
network settings, VLAN IDs, etc. My first idea is to use one ovsdb-server
and connect ovs-vswitchd instances running on each hypervisor to it. Is this
kind of setup supported by current version of OVS? I't not very clear from
existing documentation.
INSTALL.Linux says this:

     Before starting ovs-vswitchd itself, you need to start its
     configuration database, ovsdb-server.  Each machine on which Open
     vSwitch is installed should run its own copy of ovsdb-server.

How can I make this clearer?

I think the question is how can ovs be used to do distributed switching. This is (partially) answered in the FAQ (http://openvswitch.org/?page_id=229)
