Any drbd which is not "Inconsistent" can become master; even a
SyncTarget can become master as long as it is connected to the
SyncSource.
The full logic which side of the two you might want to promote to
primary is somewhat more complex, in particular if they are internally
split...
With what cluster manager are you trying to integrate drbd?
