Unity Test DR

Hi,

Is there a way to perform a test DR for a NAS server (CIFS / Fs) without performing a failover/failback

Objectif is to remove all changes performed (on the DR site)  during the failover test

On the vnx we used the following procedure

- stop VMD/Cifs server on primary site

- stop replication

- load replicaed DM (nas_server .. -setstate loaded) + - remount the FS RW

- test the replicated environment

...

- unload "replicated "DM/remount FS ro

- restart replication with overwrite_destination flag

Is there something similar on the UNITY ???????????

Eventually can we delete the replication and remount the "replicated" nas server/File system on the remote site ?????????

OR Is it possible to mount the replicated file systems rw on another temporary cifs server ????

OR  use a checkpointt of the replicated FS ??????

Regards,

Patrick
