Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "disable".

If you just want to change the value used for the option, you can do:

  pcs resource update RESOURCE_NAME OPTION_NAME=NEW_VALUE

If you mean that the resource agent is buggy, and you want it not to use
a particular option at all, then that can only be addressed within the
agent. If you're comfortable with shell scripting, you can copy it and
make any necessary changes yourself. Also feel free to open a bug at:
