Those environment variables are supplied by the LRM not from the system
environment.  You can have separate instances of the same resource
script on the same machine whose environment values (configuration
parameters) are different.

The LRM gives them to your script.
The LRM gets them from the CRM
The CRM gets them from the CIB
The CIB is created by some person typically through an editor
	or the GUI, as possibly modified by various command line tools.
The CIB is kept in sync and identical across all your cluster
	nodes automatically

Does that help?
