I was under the impression that to rename an LPAR you firstly had to rename the LPAR to * under one activation and then rename * to the new LPAR name under another activation.
We're also currently running z/OS V1.4 & V1.7 and have a number of LPARs we'd like to rename, but we haven't plucked up the courage yet to try it. Good luck.

We are converting everything to z/os.e but running in the roadblock of needing a POR to change the partition name. I am told that, under z/os 1.7, I can 'rename' a partition presumably via a dynamic change. Has anyone verified this? Has anyone actually tried it? I am running a mixture of 1.4 and 1.7. All IODF/IOCDS originate from an anchor LPAR which is 1.4 with the exploitation code. Anyone see any issues trying to run a mixture of 1.4 and 1.7 while renaming? Thanks. The very best of the season to you, yours, and theirs.
