It is always started and stopped with corosync:

# /lib/systemd/system/sbd.service
[Unit]
Description=Shared-storage based fencing daemon
Documentation=man:sbd(8)
Before=pacemaker.service
After=systemd-modules-load.service iscsi.service
PartOf=corosync.service
RefuseManualStop=true
RefuseManualStart=true
...
[Install]
RequiredBy=corosync.service

We can test if it could be disabled and still work correctly.
