[ovs-discuss] [OVN] OVN split: Database schemas and ovn-ctl script

[Lucas Alvares Gomes]

Thanks Numan,

I've gave the patch [0] a go and it works! Since I was running with
DevStack (OpenStack deployment tool) I needed to adjust the
OV{S,N}_RUNDIR, OV{S,N}_SHAREDIR and some other related variables but
at the end I was able to get it up and running!

Cheers,
Lucas
