Making a secondary site the cluster primary site (370 -> PS/2)

I have a small TCF cluster composed of a 9370 and several PS/2s, all
running 1.2 F50.  The 9370 is the primary site, and the PS/2s are all
secondary sites.  There is no backbone site.

I need to make one of the PS/2s, now a secondary site, become the
primary site for the cluster.  It would be nice to make the 9370 into a
backbone site while I'm at it, but that's not essential.  It is
absolutely essential that I make the PS/2 into the primary site.

I've gotten minimal help from IBM - apparently, this is not a documented
process, and the one person who has done something like this before says
it would take two solid days on the phone, and possibly weeks to correct
a mistake made somewhere along the way.

Has anyone else done this?  Am I really unique in wanting to rearrange
my cluster topology in this fashion?
