I've noticed that OVS isn't connecting to the controller on
boot/reboot, is there an option somewhere I need to set to enable
this? On further inspection when I run ovs-vsctl list bridge it
looks like the bridge lost both its controller entry and its
other_config:datapath-id. Is there a persist or save command I need
to issue after setting these things?
What happens at boot is this:
* OVS tears down and destroys all bridges, because XenServer
expects to re-create each one at boot.
* OVS refreshes the manager (OVSDB connection) from the
XenServer (XAPI) database.
* XenServer creates each of the bridges. No controller is
set.
* The manager is supposed to set the controller for each
bridge as it likes, using the OVSDB connection to do so.
I answered a very similar question a couple of weeks ago, and described a
couple different possible solutions:

Ah sorry for the duplicate, but I appreciate the reply. I'm unfamiliar
with the manager, is there a pointer or further information on what it
does/how it works?
Thanks,
David
