List of valid parameter names for external/sbd STONITH device shows as the following:  
sbd\_device  
crashdump  
timeout\_bypass

When the parameter used as “-p” option, it produces an error.

stonith -t external/sbd -p “sbd\_device crashdump timeout\_bypass” -S  
Invalid device: sbd\_device  
sbd failed; please check the logs.  
external/sbd[79921]: ERROR: sbd list failed: Invalid device: sbd\_device  
WARN: external\_status: ‘sbd status’ failed with rc 1  
ERROR: external/sbd device not accessible.

What should be the value for “-p” option ?

Thank you
