  stored on the fixed-block architecture (FBA) DASDs or CMS
  formatted extended key count data (ECKD) DASDs, it issues a
  MSGCKR0803 which begins with the text "Invalid OS formatted
  RACF DB ..." followed by a MSGCKR0804 which begins with the text
  "Error OS formatted RACF DB ...". zSecure Collect for z/VM
  issues a series of MSGCKV115I which begins with the text
  "Unknown element <name> ..." while processing FBA DASDs
  information.
