If you mean that you want to preserve your existing data, then yes it's possible. Read carefully this section in documentation: http://docs.linbit.com/docs/users-guide-8.4/#s-prepare-storage ...and specifically the section "It is not necessary for this storage area to be empty before you create a DRBD resource from it. In fact it is a common use case to create a two-node cluster from a previously non-redundant single-server system using DRBD (some caveats apply — please refer to DRBD meta data if you are planning to do this)."
