ovn-ctl: Add new commands 'run_nb_server' and 'run_sb_server'
Presently if the user wants to start OVN db servers as separate containers, 'ovn-ctl' script is not useful as '--detach' option is passed when ovsdb-servers are started. If the container command is 'ovn-ctl start_nb_ovsdb', the container exits as soon as ovn-ctl exits. This patch adds two new commands - 'run_nb_server' and 'run_sb_server'. This will be really useful for the above mentioned requirement. Without these commands, the user may have to first generate the db by running 'ovsdb-tool' and then start the container with the command 'ovsdb-server ovnnb_db.db ....' and this is very inconvenient. This patch also updates the documentation in ovn-ctl.8.xml. Suggested-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: Numan Siddique <nusiddiq@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@ovn.org>
