The ovs-vsctl database commands (e.g. "set", "get", > "list", ...) accept both UUIDs and names, but until now if a command's > argument had the form of a UUID, then it had to be the database-assigned > UUID for a row; that is, ovs-vsctl did not check whether it was the name > of a row. This commit changes that: a UUID argument to a database command > is now first checked against database UUIDs then, if it is not a database > UUID, it is checked as the name of a row. > > This is prompted by Windows integration with OpenStack, which uses UUIDs > as port names. > > CC: Nithin Raju <nit...@vmware.com> > Requested-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gshe...@nicira.com> > Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <b...@nicira.com>
