File system replication

I created a replication session for a VDM from source_VNX to destination_VNX.

While i was trying to create replication session for the file system, on the destination side, I placed it on the physical datamover instead of the vdm.  To rectify this I see two option

Option 1 :- One is to delete the current session and create a new session and place the file system correct in the vdm  ( Cleaner option)

Option 2 :-  Remount the file system from physical data mover to the vdm.  ( Will this work ? Is there anything else that needs to be done like to full sync after mounting file system ?

    I went through the second option. And you don't need to perform any full sync.

    Correct – as long as we can recognize checkpoints with a common base the VNX will automatically use them as a base and just do an incremental update.
