Hi Terry,
For the change itself:
Acked-by: Dumitru Ceara
Thanks!
I've merged the change to main, branch-22.06 and branch-22.03.
While we can make it work for now with this new arbitrary args feature,
for the actual goal, of passing a custom --remote option and additional
DBs to listen to I think we need a follow up. Currently, when starting
OVN databases, if the database doesn't exist ovn-ctl takes care of
creating it:
https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/blob/86684ad759b4f517b8f34fbf7ba8bb8ed77bb575/utilities/ovn-ctl#L246

https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/blob/86684ad759b4f517b8f34fbf7ba8bb8ed77bb575/utilities/ovn-ctl#L249
(standalone)
In the future, after [0] is accepted, can we add a patch that changes
ovn-ctl to check if the local_config.ovsschema file is installed? If it
is and if DB_*_USE_REMOTE_IN_DB=yes it could then create the
corresponding local_config database if not already found in $ovn_dbdir
and automatically add the --remote and new db file args.
What do you think?
Something like that sounds good to me. With this I was looking for
something that would not specifically require the ovs change, but
would still let me solve the problem if I needed to pass the
schema/create the db locally. And in general it's useful to be able to
pass through some options.
Agreed.
I hadn't originally planned to use Local_Config just because it
existed--I can imagine situations where you have a manually added
Connection or custom set things like inactivity_probe set up in the
main DB, and if ovn-ctl now notices you have a Local_Config schema, it
stops using the original table and you lose whatever was in the
original db. So I was thinking of an additional --use-local-config
kind of option to opt into using it.
Also fine, in my opinion. Will you be working on adding this support to
ovn-ctl?
Thanks!
Thanks,
Dumitru

Hi Terry,
For the change itself:
Acked-by: Dumitru Ceara
While we can make it work for now with this new arbitrary args feature,
for the actual goal, of passing a custom --remote option and additional
DBs to listen to I think we need a follow up. Currently, when starting
OVN databases, if the database doesn't exist ovn-ctl takes care of
creating it:
https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/blob/86684ad759b4f517b8f34fbf7ba8bb8ed77bb575/utilities/ovn-ctl#L246

In the future, after [0] is accepted, can we add a patch that changes
ovn-ctl to check if the local_config.ovsschema file is installed? If it
is and if DB_*_USE_REMOTE_IN_DB=yes it could then create the
corresponding local_config database if not already found in $ovn_dbdir
and automatically add the --remote and new db file args.
What do you think?

[ovs-dev] [PATCH ovn v3 1/1] Allow arbitrary args to be passed to called binary
It is common to pass ovn-ctl options via an /etc/sysconfig file.
It would be useful to be able to pass custom --remote options or
additional DBs to listen to via this file. This would give end
users the ability to have more fine-grained control without
having to modify ovn-ctl.
