Centos 6.3 DRBD / OpenVZ kernel/userland issue

Question

When I start my Centos 6.3 server's drbd service I get the following error:

Starting DRBD resources: DRBD module version: 8.3.13
   userland version: 8.4.2
preferably kernel and userland versions should match.

I'm 99% certain this is to do with the openVZ kernel that I have just installed/using as the error doesn't occur if I go back to one of the other 2 from the grub boot menu. What do I need to do in order to allow OpenVZ and DRBD to work together on the same server?

For diagnostic purposes, the result of uname -a is this:

Linux main2 2.6.32-042stab072.10 #1 SMP Wed Jan 16 18:54:05 MSK 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If when installing DRBD I run the command:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo install drbd83-utils kmod-drbd83

instead of

yum --enablerepo=elrepo install drbd84-utils kmod-drbd84

Then the error turns into:

Starting DRBD resources: DRBD module version: 8.3.13
   userland version: 8.3.15
preferably kernel and userland versions should match.

So how do I specify that I want an even older version of drbd 8.3.13 instead of 8.3.15?

Currently using Repo:

rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm

added the info into the body for everyone. – Programster Feb 07 '13 at 08:15 — Programster, Feb 07 '13 at 08:15

ELRepo does still have older versions of DRBD, so you're in luck. Tell yum that you need a specific version like this:

yum install drbd83-utils-8.3.13

And use the yum versionlock plugin to make sure it stays that way. (At least until the host upgrades the kernel...) – Michael Hampton Feb 07 '13 at 18:36
