I should also mention that some of the key pieces are having the pid file on local (non-drbd) disk and having your db configured to allow the RA to test the status (per the docs). Having the pid file on drbd storage causes the monitor on the backup node to fail.
I don't use a different db data location than the lsb script so that if there is a node running an independent mysql instance it doesn't affect the cluster through false positives in the monitoring.
