NICISDI.XLM (nicisdi.nlm)
This module is present in the SYS:\SYSTEM directory and loaded by AUTOEXEC.NCF file. This is the Security Domain Infrastructure management module. If this module is not loaded, then security domain keys (e.g., tree key) are not loaded into NICI and they are not available. It is a typical symptom to get a 1460 error when this module is not loaded.

Also, make sure sasdfm.xml is loaded as well

NICI Partition key is missing. Make sure that SYS:SYSTEM\NICI\NICISDI.KEY exist on the server.
