Hi Ignazio,

By deleting the replica you will delete the replicated volume, and in order
to do that, the driver will need to destroy the snapmirror
relationship, before actually deleting the volume. You can only delete the
non-active replicas, which means that your 'writable' volume won't be
affected.
By promoting a replica, the provided 'dr' volume will become 'writable',
and the original active replica will turn to a 'dr' volume.There is no way
of having two 'writable' instances of the same share when using NetApp
backend in Manila.
