I do not think they are used as an iSCSI target. We have a large database (384 million phone numbers) that is mirrored/maintained on both servers. 

Right. I'll go ahead and guess that there is a filesystem on the DRBD
and that you mount it for use by your DBMS.

Points of interest are your /etc/ha.d/ha.cf and (if applicable) the
output of "crm configure show".

Thanks,
Felix
