permanently fail-over to destination filer steps

Hello,

I have a pair of unity 300F boxes.  I use them for iSCSI LUNs exclusively.  I'm migrating the servers using the current source Unity to the destination box.

So I take my storage clients offline, perform a sync with failover, boot up my clients connected to the replication destination, and allswell.  I have RW access to my LUNs, my apps are happy, etc.

So now I want to reverse the replication flow.  I don't seem to see any builtin function to carry this out, which is fine.  So I assume I need to delete the replication session, delete the LUN on the former source filer, then setup a new replication session.

Assuming this is correct, where will I want to run the 'DELETE' command on the current session?  Documentation states...

"When there are no issues in the configuration and a delete operation is issued on the source system, the replication session will be deleted from both the source and destination system."

So my thought would be delete it on the original source Unity, and that will clean it up on both sides.  However, if in failover mode, is that a 'there are no issues in the configuration' condition?  Does it really matter?

Thanks!
