Hello Grigori, I did not realize the storage group was still active. In this case, you are correct, you cannot use the inactivate command. I suggest that you call IBM support, they may have to guide you through a TSM Server command to delete or inactivate this object. Thanks, Del

In the given example for Oracle all encryption keys are kept in TSM database. So you will be able to decrypt data only if you have restored TSM database. It is logical, because after loosing TSM database you are loosing everything. I heard there are some tools to read TSM backups from tapes
