RACF data base is not required to be PSU. PS with RECFM F is fine. RACF 
predates VSAM.

"Unmovable" would seem to imply uncopyable; the copy would have to go in a 
different place.  But there must be some provision for backing it up, and 
little point in trying to move it to another system with such as FTP.

Why not VSAM?  Performance?  Antiquity?  It feels as if RACF has a built-in DB 
engine.
