[ovs-discuss] OVN Controller - High Availability via Pacemaker

Greetings OVS Discuss Group:

First - I want to apologize for the wall of text to follow - I wasn't sure how much information would be wanted and I didn't want everyone to have to ask 100 questions to get what they needed.

I am working on settings up an OVN Controller (3 Nodes) using Pacemaker / Corosync.   For reference --  A single node controller (no pacemaker / corosync) operates without issue.
Root Goal:   Failover Redundancy for the OVN Controller - Allows for maintenance of controller nodes and/or failure of a controller node.

I have been following the very limited documentation on how to setup this environment but don't seem to be having much luck getting it to be 100% stable or operational.
http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/topics/integration/?highlight=pacemaker

If I could ask someone to assist in reviewing the below installation and provide some insight into what I may be doing wrong, or have wrong (need newer version of code, etc) I would be grateful.  I've currently only attempted this by using "packaged" versions of code to "keep it simple" ... but I do realize that getting this to work may require a newer code release.
Along with this, once I am able to get a stable environment, I would like to contribute updated documentation to the community on how to perform a full setup.

### All Controllers

## System Package Updates
apt clean all; apt update; apt -y dist-upgrade

## Time Sync Services (NTP) [ctrl01, ctrl02, ctrl03]
apt install -y ntp

## Install OVN Central Controller [ctrl01, ctrl02, ctrl03]
apt install -y openvswitch-common openvswitch-switch python-openvswitch python3-openvswitch ovn-common ovn-central

## Install pacemaker and corosync [ctrl01, ctrl02, ctrl03]
apt install -y pcs pacemaker pacemaker-cli-utils

## Reset the Pacemaker Password [ctrl01, ctrl02, ctrl03]
Password = 6B43WAmuPzM2Ewsr

enc_passwd=$(python3 -c 'import crypt; print(crypt.crypt("6B43WAmuPzM2Ewsr", crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA512)))')
usermod -p "${enc_passwd}" hacluster

## Enable and Start the PCS Daemon [ctrl01, ctrl02, ctrl03]
sudo systemctl enable pcsd;
sudo systemctl start pcsd;
sudo systemctl status pcsd;
```

### Cluster Controller #1 (ONLY)

## Enable Cluster Services [ctrl01 --ONLY-- ]

pcs cluster auth ctrl01 ctrl02 ctrl03 -u hacluster -p '6B43WAmuPzM2Ewsr' --force
pcs cluster setup --name OVN-CLUSTER ctrl01 ctrl02 ctrl03 --force

pcs cluster enable --all;

At this point, I execute 'pcs cluster stop {{ controller }}; pcs cluster start {{ controller }}' for each controller one at a time and eventually everything clears up.

Now I turn up a VM on CN01 and it connects to 'br-int' for one of the interfaces.
OVN_NB has the logical switch configured, and the port assignment.
OVN_SB never receives the port state 'online' from the CN.
