You need to :

1. Stop the resource
2. Get the configuration of the resource
3. export the configuration as environment variables. For example, if your resource has the following options:

```auto
option1=AAA opton2=BBB option3=CCC

```

Then you need to export first the OCF\_ROOT:

```auto
export OCF_ROOT=/usr/lib/ocf

```

And then the options themselves:

```auto
export OCF_RESKEY_option1=AAA
export OCF_RESKEY_option2=BBB
export OCF_RESKEY_option3=CCC

```

And then run the script with start/stop/status (the path is based on memories, so use find in /usr/lib/ocf or locate):

```auto
bash -x /usr/lib/ocf/resources.d/<PROVIDER>/resource <start/stop/status>

```
