[Pacemaker] Problem setting-up DRBD v8,4 with Pacemaker v1.1.6

[Irfan Ali]

Hi all,

We are trying to set-up an HA pair  on RHEL 6.2 using DRBD (v
8.4.1-2), Pacemaker (v 1.1.6-3) and Corosync (v 1.4.1-4). We could
make DRBD work independently syncing the two machines of the pair. But
our problem begins when we try to connect DRBD with Pacemaker. Even
though Pacemaker was able to detect the resources corresponding to
DRBD running on both the machines, it does not promoted any one of
them as master. I have pasted the output from 'crm status' below, it
shows that the resource 'ms-drbd' is running as slaves on both the
machines of our HA pair.

We fiddled a lot with the configuration for both Pacemaker and DRBD,
but couldn't find anything to fix this problem. Any help / suggestions
from you guys will be highly appreciated.
