Alain, this question was asked and answered, I thought, on IBMVM mailing list.  
The stated suspicion was that you systems weren't equal, with most suspicion 
falling on the IODF.  You told us that there were 500 devices in the virtual 
machine and 516 in the LPAR.   You then admitted that the IODF in the virtual 
machine was far larger than in the LPAR.

MVS is going to create a UCB for every device in the IODF, not just for devices 
that are in the I/O configuration, and SQA isn't big enough to hold it all.   
Either allocate more SQA or reduce the IODF to match the client configuration.
