Hi Ben, I'm using ovsdb replication feature. Now when the server transitions from 'Active' to 'Backup' state, the client doesn't get a notification about the server's state(active/backup). Obviously the client can use 'ovsdb-server/sync-status' ctl command to pull the server's state info, but since it is a pull method, I need to do a periodic polling for getting server's state, which I think is costly.
Further, what I noticed is that the server resets all the remote connections when it's state changes. So I was thinking to pull the server's state only when the connection resets, instead of periodic polling. In my client application(using ovsdb-IDL), I want to clear the application's info before the server's state changes to 'backup'. Thanks, Arun.
