Hello Misak,
This error hints that your ovn databases are not up (or at least can not be
connected to).
Could you please check if the following command gives any output:
ps -ef|grep 'ovnsb_db\|ovnnb_db'
The databases can be started (if not active) using:
/usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovn-ctl start_ovsdb
Could you please also check the content of:
/var/run/openvswitch/
The filenames don't look normal (usually they do not contain any numbers as
part of them), please give me some time to check this.
Thanks,
Marcin

Hello Misak,
Could you please file a bug about those error messages that you receive
from OVS?
You can use the log collector tool (
https://www.ovirt.org/documen
tation/admin-guide/chap-Utilities/#the-log-collector-tool)
which gathers all the required logs for us to investigate this issue.
Thanks for reporting this issue!
