That should be simple: you need to run RACFCONV, using the RACF code of the
6.1 system.  Did that often enough.

So, install z/VM 6.2
Make the minidisk with the 6.1 RACF code available in the first level VM
   (should be  6VMRAC10 505 )
When nobody is changing passwords, etc, take a DDR BACKUP of RACFVM 200 and
300
  (I use RACFVM 1200 and 1300 as backups, so if you'd have troubles
   user RACFVM can get these backup minidisks without requiring a LINK
command
   #CP DET 200 300#DEFINE 1200 200#DERFINE 1300 300
   would be enough to go back to the backup copy)

Have the passsword of RACFVM as written in tye CP directory at your
disposition
Make sure RACFVM has a link to the backup disks
 CP SET SECUSER RACFVM *
 CP SEND CP RACFVM LINK * 1200 1200
 CP SEND CP RACFVM LINK * 1300 1300

>From MAINT for example, link and access (the copy of) 6VMRAC10 505
  LINK RACFVM 200 200 MW
  LINK RACFVM 300 200 MW
Assure RACFVM can no longer update 200/300, after this step RACFVM is dead
for a while
 CP SEND CP RACFVM DEF 200 2200
 CP SEND CP RACFVM DEF 300 2300
you could change this also in CP SEND CP LINK * 200 200 RR (same for 300),
then RACF becomes R/O instead of dead, but I don't know if an end-user would
see a message it he tried to chnage his pswd at this time...
Run RACFCONV in MAINT
When done: give RACF the converted disks back as 200/300 and restart it.
  CP DET 200 300
  CP SEND CP RACFVM DEF 2200 200
  CP SEND CP RACFVM DEF 2300 300
  CP SEND CP IPL 490
