Re: [Xen-API] XCP 1.1 OVS and active-backup mode seeing traffic on both interfaces

Yes, you can install a newer version of OVS on XCP.  The
instructions you need are in INSTALL.XenServer.

I wouldn't say that active-backup bonding in XCP 1.1 is
"useless".  It works fine in many use cases, just not in yours.
