I am trying to implement SLB, or LACP, rather than A-B. To do this seems to require using either the manage_ovs show_bridges or list port {br0 | bond0} command.
Other then the Command_Ref-AOS and AHV_Admin-Guid, where can more information be found ?
I am getting a `ERROR kvm.py:488 failed to execute ....` error.

Try to grab a copy of the. Nutanix Networking Best Practices manual.
Pages 31 to 33 provide an example on how to use the ovs-ctl and ovs-appctl from the host shell to configure LACP and loadbalancing.
Depending on your setup, you will find something like this:
[root@NTNX-0f82fb36-A ~]# ovs-vsctl set port bond0 lacp=active
[root@NTNX-0f82fb36-A ~]# ovs-vsctl set port bond0 bond_mode=balance-tcp

Okay, so this seems to be a "manage_ovs" issue as 'show_interfaces' and other switches fail as well. All pointing back to kvm.py line 488 with a return code of 255.
There is also a stderr of "{date/time} CRITICAL manage_ovs:151 Failed to execute ovs command: list-br"

When I try the OvS-{x}ctl commands I receive a "command not found" error?
This is from SSHing into the CVM, should I be using nCLI?

+1No, that is not running on the CVM but on the host.
From the CVM, use
ssh root@192.168.5.1 “ovs-vsctl set port bond0 lacp=active“
to set the physical interface configuration.

I have a situation where one node is on LACP active (i.e. node 0), but the other 3 nodes won’t change from active-standby although the LACP=active and the balance-LACP commands are executed with no errors. My Arista switches are properly setup for MLAG and as such I can see that one MLAG connection and the other three inactive.
Does anyone know why it is that I can’t set the LACP config throug the ovs-vsctl command ?
