.SH NAME
ovs\-xenserverd \- Open vSwitch daemon for XenServer-specific functionality
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBovs\-xenserverd \fR[\fIoptions\fR]
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
A daemon that provides XenServer-specific functionality for Open
vSwitch.  Currently, its only purpose is to ensure that network UUIDs
in the Open vSwitch database are kept up-to-date when the XenServer
host joins or leaves a pool.  It does so by running
\fB@pkgdatadir@/scripts/refresh-network-uuids\fR.
.PP
\fBovs\-xenserverd\fR is useful only on Citrix XenServer hosts.
Running it on any other kind of host is harmless but not useful.
