Upgrading from SLES10 to SLES11 SP1 + HAE with conversion tool  
/usr/lib64/heartbeat/hb2openais.sh worked without problems. I got no  
errors converting cib.xml.  
But starting the cluster I get the following error:  
Sep 07 17:25:44 corosync [MAIN] Corosync Cluster Engine (‘1.3.0’):  
started and ready to provide service.  
Sep 07 17:25:44 corosync [MAIN] Corosync built-in features: nss

services to load

file ‘/etc/corosync/corosync.conf’.  
Sep 07 17:25:44 corosync [MAIN] parse error in config: The token hold  
timeout parameter (29 ms) may not be less then (30 ms).  
Sep 07 17:25:44 corosync [MAIN] Corosync Cluster Engine exiting with  
status 8 at main.c:1675.

Where can I find this parameter?

My corosync.conf:
