Thank you Lars as that allow me to install the utils with no error.

So I then moved onto the km and tried both v8.4 and v9.0 with different results:

rpm -Uvh drbd-utils-8.9.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm drbd-km-3.10.0_229.el7.centos.uxbod.x86_64-8.4.6-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        drbd-utils = 8.4.6 is needed by drbd-km-3.10.0_229.el7.centos.uxbod.x86_64-8.4.6-1.x86_64

rpm -Uvh kmod-drbd-9.0.0_3.10.0_229.el7.centos.uxbod.x86_64-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

I guess the later error is due to it being such a new release but using the v8.4 branch I was surprised it complained as I though drbd-utils-8.9.3 was compatible for both v8.4 and v9.0 ?

Thanks, Phil
