Swap the Primary Storage Center for a Live Volume
If the secondary Storage Center is receiving more IO for a Live Volume than the primary Storage Center, swap roles to improve
performance. If an outage is planned at the site where the primary Storage Center is located, swap roles before the outage to make sure

Volume stays current.
