I think we will have the same issue even for the ovn NB and SB dbs. The default path of OVN NB and SB dbs is - /etc/openvswitch before the split and after the split it is /etc/ovn. I agree that we should add upgrade guide taking about the migration. I will work on it. In this particular case, the default values are changed. And these values can always be overridden when starting or updating the pacemaker service like - pcs resource create ovn-dbs ... ovn_nb_db_privkey=<NB_PRIV_KEY_PATH> ... In the case of openstack tripleo, where OVN services are run as containers, we have to mount the host directories properly. If the host path - /var/lib/openvswitch/ovn is mounted as /etc/openvswitch inside the container, we need to also mount the same host path to /etc/ovn so that the upgrade to new OVN post split will be seamless. I thought that this can be handled in distro install scripts like creating a symbolic link, but this doesn't address the deployments which run ovn services inside containers. I think we can also enhance the ovn-ctl script to tolerate old locations. I will explore more on this. I will rework this patch to look into both the locations if the user has not set these variables when starting the service from pacemaker.
