For SLES 11, I made a quick (portable non-portable unstable) try (print the operations known to an RA):
 # crm ra info VirtualDomain |sed -n -e "/Operations' defaults/,\$p"
Operations' defaults (advisory minimum):

    start         timeout=90
    stop          timeout=90
    status        timeout=30 interval=10
    monitor       timeout=30 interval=10
    migrate_from  timeout=60
    migrate_to    timeout=120

Regards,
Ulrich
