-The command should only be used for advanced debugging and troubleshooting

-operation.
-.PP
 The \fBovn\-sbctl\fR program configures the \fBOVN_Southbound\fR database
 by providing a high\-level interface to its configuration database.  See
 \fBovn\-sb\fR(5) for comprehensive documentation of the database schema.

+These commands manipulate the \fBconnections\fR column in the \fBSB_Global\fR
