Thanks Han for the prompt responses!
That option is ok for reading. If I want to write, I have to connect to the leader, right? Then my question remains, how does ovn-sbctl find out how to connect to the leader?

Thanks again!

Tony

If you don't intentionally try to connect to the leader, you can use ovn-sbctl --no-leader-only ... to avoid the retry.
If you want to avoid typing this option every time, you can export OVN_SBCTL_OPTIONS"="--no-leader-only", and then just run ovn-sbctl ...
(does this answer your question?)

Thanks,
Han
