Thank Peter for your reply.

Unfortunately, I know well these states, but my question is in fact:
In case of split brain (and at any time), does DRBD know which member 
still is or was primary ?
Or each peer does not keep any information concerning the other ? And it 
will be to the clustering software to keep this information ?
