ovsdb servers are started by the pacemaker. It uses the OCF script and 
the OCF script uses ovn-ctl.

The OCF script for OVN DB servers is capable of understanding the 
promote and demote calls. So, pacemaker will use this script to run 
ovsdb server in all the nodes and promote one node as the master(active 
server). If the node in which the master instance is running fails, 
pacemaker automatically promotes another node as the master. OCF script 
is an agent for the pacemaker for the OVN db resource.
The above behavior depends on the way you are configuring the resource 
that uses this OCF script. I am attaching a simple set of commands to 
configure the ovsdb server. You can create the resources after creating 
the cluster with the following command

crm configure < ovndb.pcmk

Please note, you have to replace the macros VM1_NAME, VM2_NAME, VM3_NAME 
and MASTER_IP with the respective values before using ovndb.pcmk. This 
script works with a 3 node cluster. I am assuming the node ids as 101, 
102, and 103. Please replace them as well to work with your cluster.
