[ovs-dev] [ovs-discuss] [OVN] no response to inactivity probe

I set the connection target="ptcp:6641:10.6.20.84" for ovn-nb-db
and "ptcp:6642:10.6.20.84" for ovn-sb-db. .84 is the first node
of cluster. Also ovn-openflow-probe-interval=30 on compute node.
It seems helping. Not that many connect/drop/reconnect in logging.
That "commit failure" is also gone.
The issue I reported in another thread "packet drop" seems gone.
And launching VM starts working.

How should I set connection table for all ovn-nb-db and ovn-sb-db
nodes in the cluster to set inactivity_probe?
One row with address 0.0.0.0 seems not working.

Is "external_ids:ovn-remote-probe-interval" in ovsdb-server on
compute node for ovn-controller to probe ovn-sb-db?

Is "external_ids:ovn-openflow-probe-interval" in ovsdb-server on
compute node for ovn-controller to probe ovsdb-server?

What's probe interval for ovsdb-server to probe ovn-controller?


Thanks!
