I recently upgraded to 5.3, however before the move to production I was do all my installation, tailoring and testing as a second level VM and did not experience this, shutdown took 9 seconds or less total! During the actual update process, I shutdown and re-IPL'ed the system several times and noticed the shutdown process taking upwards of 40+ minutes. Is there a general available fix for 5.3 or 5.4?

Raymond, The PMR for our problem was 46373,077,724. We got a local PTF to fix HCPRDI for the specific DASD range. Although this was on 5.3, we checked and it did not need to be reworked for 5.4. However, if this is the same problem as ours, the SHUTDOWN should complete eventually (depending on your processing power, how many affected DASD you have connected and over how many channels each you may need a LOT of patience).
