 Before starting ovs-vswitchd itself, you need to start its
-configuration database, ovsdb-server.  Configure it to use the
-database you created during step 7 of installation, above, and to
-listen on a Unix domain socket, e.g.:
+configuration database, ovsdb-server.  Each machine on which Open
+vSwitch is installed should run its own copy of ovsdb-server.
+Configure it to use the database you created during step 7 of
+installation, above, and to listen on a Unix domain socket, e.g.:
 
       % ovsdb-server /usr/local/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
