The Idea here is that this can simply be copy-pasted into a Terminal and it 
will just 
work without having to edit it manually.

Oh, I meant it differently. You execute this only if you killed the Secondary.

Thats what I meant with "You can kill one of the VMs and Failover on 
the surviving VM" above.

If you killed the Secondary, then you start a new Secondary (using the Secondary
commandline above, start nbd server and add the disk to the nbd server ) 
then execute the commands here under "Primary resume replication". After that, 
if you want to resume the replication, follow "Primary resume replication"

I will try to clarify this.

> same issue in resume secondary.

No, Just the initial Primary cmdline is different. The Secondary cmdline is
always the same as above. Except if you run both on the same node, then you
need to choose a different Image than primary-copy.qcow2, I will clarify this.
