[ovs-discuss] OVN cluster: how to ensure that both northbound and southbound instances are leaders on the same node?

[Arkadi Poliakevitch]

Hello,

I'm recently puzzled at the situation when northbound ovsdb-server is the leader on one cluster node but the southbound ovsdb-server is the leader on the other node. My understanding is that the same ovn-northd instance should connect to both northbound and southbound sockets at the same time in order to function properly, which is not the case. One ovn-northd instance locks the connection to the southbound leader and the other ovn-northd instance - to the northbound leader, which makes no sense, of course. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks a lot!
