Repository Configuration File

/etc/ovs/repositories.options
You can add a repository using the /usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo script, and
remove them using the /usr/lib/ovs/ovs-offlinerepo -d script.
Repositories are managed by Oracle VM Agent. To manually manage the repository
daemon, use following commands:
/etc/init.d/ovsrepositories [start|stop|status|restart|reload]

/etc/ovs/repositories
The format used in the repository file is:

storage repositories. The repository option file must be named:
/etc/ovs/repositories.options
The format of this file is:
uuid options
uuid
The UUID of the repository and must match the UUID of the repository in the
/etc/ovs/repositories file.

updates the repository configuration to enable it. The script takes the parameters:
/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo source shared description
source
The block device or NFS path to the file system to be added.
