Hello Frode:

OVS provides support for other host types like XenServer. In OpenStack we dropped this support.

The OVS system-id (not the xs-system-uuid) must be a UUID type identifier [1]. The Neutron OVN backend, specifically the OVN metadata agent, will check value format before starting. We cannot accept a random string as you are expecting. This enforcement is not breaking any OVN RBAC because that is enforced in OVS, not OVN.

Regards.
