Refer to the Admin Ref description of the Query Volume command:

  "Use this command to display information about one or more storage pool
  volumes."

It is simply the case that that volume is not currently in a storage pool:
it is an unused tape in your library which could be used for various purposes,
one of which is data storage in a storage pool.

I would strongly recommend going through the redbook "Tivoli Storage Management
Concepts" as well as the Admin Guide manual, to gain a solid understanding of
the product before venturing into its more difficult terrain.
