Afaics, drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2 is needed to discover the host hardware
and software. In my initial testing, once I supplied it credentials to 
ssh to the host members, it ran /usr/local/bin/drbd-gui-helper-0.8.2
on each host to get the info about my cluster.

I didn't know the file was needed until I saw DMC  trying to run it in
the lower console window, which shows the remote ssh cli session.
