   When clustered, most network types require individual POST for each cluster member prior to a global POST. should i call rest api to every lxd server once?

I find that if I call the API only once, it seems that there is no problem.
this is my request body

{
	"config": {
		"ipv4.nat": "true",
		"network": "UPLINK"
	},
	"name": "ovnNetwork5",
	"type": "ovn"
}

lxc network show ovnNetwork5

When I call the rest API only once, i can still see each of my lxd server in the locations property through the lxc network show command,
Does this mean that I do not need to call the rest API once for each node?

That’s correct, OVN is always global, no need to do per-server like for the other network types.
