I'm posting this question for a co-worker who is working on our conversion from 
z/VM 5.3 to 5.4.


I've got three z/VM LPARs that share a RACF database.  It is not shared with 
any other systems.

The LPARs were running z/VM Version 5 Release 3.0, service level 1001 (64-bit). 
 I upgraded one of the z/VM LPARs to 5.4 this weekend. It's running z/VM 
Version 5 Release 4.0, service level 0902 (64-bit).

I'm now seeing this error when I attempt to do an LU command on the 5.4 LPAR.

rac lu xxxxxxx
IRR52115I Error during RACF manager processing. Return code is 36. Reason code 
is 3.
ICH51004I PARAMETER LIST ERROR DETECTED BY RACF MANAGER
Ready(00012); T=0.01/0.01 14:03:09

I've tried several other RACF display commands (SR, RL) and they all seem to 
work ok.  It's also possible to do an ALU on the 5.4 LPAR and see the results 
on one of the other LPARs.  Logins and other security checks seem to be 
unaffected.

RACF was initially installed on the 5.3 system.  I verified that we have 
VM64383 installed on the 5.3 systems.  It was installed prior to RACF being 
activated on 5.3

I have not run RACFCONV for zVM 5.4 yet.

We have opened an issue with IBM support, but I thought I would ask on the list 
if anyone has seen this before.  Any thoughts?

Thanks..
