Hi Dirk and Mathias,

Thank you for your suggestion and support.

Resolved the issue by forcefully installing DRBD 8.3.11, where as if we use
"apt-get install drbd8-utils"
its installing DRBD 8.4.3 but showing the version as 8.3.11

So followed the below steps to install DRBD 8.3.11 and Pacemaker is able to
handle DRBD now.
Although yet to fully configure XEN and check, the current issue of DRBD -
Pacemaker compatibility is resolved.


Steps followed :

apt-get remove drbd8-utils
apt-get install drbd8-utils=2:8.3.11-0ubuntu1
apt-mark hold drbd8-utils
