Ok, i now understand what i did wrong.
I tried to use drbd as a solution for a production server without
turning any on my VM off, however, i understart that this might not be
the solution i am looking for right now, as this is for a new setup only
or if i am willing to turn off the VMs...

For anyone that is interested i use an iscasi device to export the LVM
drives to the XEN server.
This solution will force me to export the DRBD devices out to XEN
instead of the Lvms and rebooting all of my servers and changing all of
my config files to reflect the new setup to support DRBD.


I will try to look for some other solution as turning off the production
servers is a bit of an issue...

Thank you all...
