In a two node cluster both have to be up, otherwise really have to force
drbdmanage to do operations (that is intentional). In a 3 node setup one
can fail, the others still have quorum. That is something you have to
decide.

A common setup for openstack is 3 storage nodes and $N hypervisors that
act as drbdmange satellites/DRBD clients (without local storage, they
read/write data via the network).
