Ok we shall see if someone from drbd could give some advices here.

Yes thats true.

I have added the third node (pve3) to the drbd9 cluster but with option
--no-storage since I don't have enough space.  I am using it only as a
control node for drbd9.  All the vms will be stored on pve1 and pve2.
I test the HA all seams to be working without any problem.

As per my understanding, as from drbd9, the two-nodes drbd server setup is
no longer possible when it comes to HA since at the backend its drbd who
manages the roles of nodes and allocate the leader.  If 2 nodes are up then
its ok but when 1 is down among the 2 drbd storage is no longer accessible
with drbdmanage.
Could someone please confirm this?

Thanks
