+"'insert': 'before', 'position': 'id=rew0'" Options. See below.
+
+== Secondary resume replication ==
+Become Primary and resume replication after new Secondary is up. Note
+that now 127.0.0.1 is the Secondary and 127.0.0.2 is the Primary.

+Start the new Secondary (Steps 2 and 3 above, but with primary_ip=127.0.0.2),

-You can kill Primary VM and run 'x_colo_lost_heartbeat' in Secondary VM's
