I am not sure I followed the steps you took correctly, but it sounds like you made this much much harder than it needed to be. What you could have done is just migrate the VM from node1 to node2. It would have done another round of replication to catch node 2 up to current and then moved the VM over. This would have automatically reversed the replication direction so that changes made to the VM while on node2 would sync back to node1. Then when node1 was back, just migrate back.

It sounds like instead you made a completely new VM on node2 using the replicated copy of the disks. So I think what you will need to do is delete the VM from node1, and set up replication again, wait for replication to completely and then try migrating the VM back to node1.
