I don't think that will work with adsm v2.  I thought that was a new

        Try the following:
        select volume_name from volumeusage where
node_name='adsmnodename' and filespace_name='filespacename'
        (Column and table names are from ADSM for NT, names may be
different
        for other platforms.
