Are you talking about updating actual software? -- you'll have to look 
at what your package manager and pre/postinst scripts actually do, I'm 
afraid.

One way is to
- make a list of installed files and directories you've replaced with 
symlinks into drbd'ed filesystem or otherwise modified,
- update on the slave,
- go through the list and see what got replaced with stock versions,
- revert the changes.
Then you can fail over and repeat.

IME yum/rpm does replace broken symlinks (broken because drbd is not 
mounted on the slave) with the default /var/lib/ldap and /etc/openldap.

Or you could update the active node, fail over, update the other active 
node -- that will avoid broken symlinks problem, but cause some downtime 
on ldap service.

Either way make a backup copy of everything first.
