Then you can compare checksums at the snapshot w/o having to worry about the data changing. Once you have finished, delete the snapshot on the primary site and it will propagate over to the non-primary site. > > > > > > > > > > > Can we demote current primary and then promote the DR copy and test and then revert back?

If you gracefully demote from site A and promote site B, and then demote site B and promote site A, that will not require a sync.
