Hi Akim,

such question was already discussed on the list recently.
DRBD config file requires both nodes included, otherwise you will not be able to load it.
You should use:
drbdadm -d adjust <res name>
all the time you change something to check your config.

However, there is no problem to use server name/IP address that does not exist yet, 
DRBD will start in WFConnection mode. You just must be sure to define reasonable
wait for connection parameter otherwise you can block your boot process.

You could probably modify the startup procedure to use StandAlone mode. As soon
as you will have the peer node available, you can connect them. 

Regards
