This is the problem. From SCF's perspective, the last import was successful, so it thinks that the developer wants the value to be 480. It considers 120 to be a customization. You should be able to see what SCF thinks the value at the last successful import was with svcprop -s last-import -p start/timeout_seconds pvg I believe "last-import" isn't stable, though. And I'm planning on removing it in the enhanced SMF profiles project. David
