If there were a problem with accessing the RACF database volumes you would get 
messages from RACF to that effect, and a prompt to enter a different database 
name. Instead the OP got a message about the product not being registered, 
which is very specific to a problem with IFAPRDxx or to product registration 
processing.

There is an MVS APAR related to issues with overlaid product registration 
information. I'm a bit surprised that this would have happened so early in the 
IPL sequence, but I suppose it's possible.

It would be interesting to know if there were any RACF messages preceding the 
IRR418I, as that particular IRR418I message occurred during initialization of 
the optional RACF subsystem, which happens much later (in the overall scheme of 
MVS initialization) than RACF itself initializing.

But I agree with another list member that it's most appropriate to open a PMR 
with IBM.
