Recovering an Individual NAS Volume

When a NAS volume is defined as a replication target, users may not write to it, as it only replicates
changes made to the replication source volume. If the source volume is down because of a malfunction,
you may want to "promote" the target and "demote" the source; i.e. switch their roles so that the former
target is now the "master" or source. This is so that clients can write to the promoted volume.
