Description:

The existing test steps to perform relocate of discovered apps are

1. Initiate relocate from UI
2. Wait for the "WaitOnUserCleanup" phase in UI and in DRPC
3. Delete app from old primary then the kubeobjects and resources like pod,pvcs will show up on the new primary

Avoiding deletion of workloads from old primary before a successful relocate.  More details given below.

Actual Result:

Only after deletion of the app on the old primary the resources will show up on the new primary. In case the relocate fails to complete on the new primary under any unexpected circumstances the workload will be lost from both the managed clusters. **

Expected Result/Suggestion/RFE:

1. Why can't we just scale down the deployments instead of workload deletion ?
2. Maybe initiate workload deletion after a successful relocate ?
