Hi Numan,

Thanks for trying it out.

Right, this is not addressed by this series. We should probably follow
up with a patch for this issue too.

Is this with both patches applied?

Same question here: are both patches of the series applied?

Because I did:

$ SANDBOXFLAGS=--no-ovn-rbac make sandbox

$ ovn-sbctl list chassis_private | grep '^name'
name                : chassis-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : chassis-1
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis_private | grep '^name'
name                : ch-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-1
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-2
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-2
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis_private | grep '^name'
name                : ch-2
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis_private | grep '^name'
name                : ch-1
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-3
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-3
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis_private | grep '^name'
name                : ch-3
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-2
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-2
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis_private | grep '^name'
name                : ch-2

So with both patches applied it seems to me that the system-id update is
working fine.

The first patch of the series doesn't apply cleanly on branch-20.03 but
if I cherry pick it on branch-20.06:

$ SANDBOXFLAGS=--no-ovn-rbac make sandbox

$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : chassis-1
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-1
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-2
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-2
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-1
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-1
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-3
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-3
$ ovs-vsctl set open . external_ids:system-id=ch-2
$ ovn-sbctl list chassis | grep '^name'
name                : ch-2

Regards,
Dumitru
