NAS, Volume Replication. How to switch source-destination?

[tim]

Thanks, Todd,

I assume that cleaning metadata means copying all data from the Source to Destination.
And if took offline my Primary DSS (say for hardware maintenance) I will have to make it Destination, then "Clear metadata" on it to force full replication from Secondary to Primary and when the volume is in consistent state, make Secondary a Destination and make Primary a Source and "clean metadata" again for full replication from Primary Source to Secondary Destination once more.

Am I right here or I may skip "clear metadata" somewhere?

Also, when should I clear metadata on Source volume and when on Destination? Or it does not matter and will force full replication anyway?

Metadata is pointers and information of the data and replication info.

Just do this for the destination server. Other information below about switching over.
