Some version info:

Operating system is Ubuntu 11.10, on EC2, kernel is 3.0.0-16-virtual and the application info is:

Version: 8.3.11 (api:88)
GIT-hash: 0de839cee13a4160eed6037c4bddd066645e23c5 build by buildd@allspice, 2011-07-05 19:51:07

Getting some strange errors in dmesg (seen below) as well, there is no replication happening. I have made my first node primary and its showing:

drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 8.3.11 (api:88/proto:86-96)
srcversion: DA5A13F16DE6553FC7CE9B2

0:r0   StandAlone  Primary/Unknown  UpToDate/DUnknown  r----s  ext3

my secondary node is showing:

drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 8.3.11 (api:88/proto:86-96)
srcversion: DA5A13F16DE6553FC7CE9B2

0:r0   StandAlone  Secondary/Unknown  Inconsistent/DUnknown  r----s

Showing /proc/drbd on the master shows:

version: 8.3.11 (api:88/proto:86-96)
srcversion: DA5A13F16DE6553FC7CE9B2 
 0: cs:StandAlone ro:Primary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown   r----s
    ns:0 nr:0 dw:4 dr:1073 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:262135964

Showing /proc/drbd on the slave shows that there is nothing being transfered...

version: 8.3.11 (api:88/proto:86-96)
srcversion: DA5A13F16DE6553FC7CE9B2

Here is my config...

resource r0 {
    protocol C;
    startup {
        wfc-timeout  15;
        degr-wfc-timeout 60;
    }
    net {
        cram-hmac-alg sha1;
        shared-secret "test123;
    }
    on drbd01 {
        device /dev/drbd0;
        disk /dev/xvdm;
        address 23.XX.XX.XX:7788; # blocked out ip
        meta-disk internal;
    }
    on drbd02 {
        device /dev/drbd0;
        disk /dev/xvdm;
        address 184.XX.XX.XX:7788; #blocked out ip
        meta-disk internal;
    }
} 

I have run the following on the master:

sudo drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer primary all

There is no firewall between the systems.

Here is the dmesg with some errors:

Edit:

Reading some other similar issues, it was suggested to do a 'drbdadm dump all', so I figured it couldn't hurt.

ubuntu@drbd01:~$ drbdadm dump all
/etc/drbd.conf:19: in resource r0, on drbd01:
    IP 23.XX.XX.XX not found on this host.

and on slave:

root@drbd02:~# drbdadm dump all
/etc/drbd.conf:25: in resource r0, on drbd02:
    IP 184.XX.XX.XX not found on this host.

Strange it doesn't find its own ip, however, this is an Amazon EC2 system using an elastic IP... here are my ipconfigs for both...
