OKm, thought so. However, after doing this (and then a vgcreate) and
even though I can see through either dmesg or /proc/drbd shouldn't I be
able to do something like a pvscan -v and/or a vgscan -v on the other
node to see the same devices in use? Or a pvs/vgs? Or would I need to
replay the backup? Something like:

vgcfgrestore -f /etc/lvm/backup/<VG name> <VG name>

On the secondary node? Or would this only work when both have been
promoted to primary (like I know that you can't mount an FS on a DRBD
device on a secondary node etc.)?
