There is a table in the database called volumeusage.  A sample output is
shown below.

adsm> SELECT * FROM VOLUMEUSAGE WHERE NODE_NAME='TSG_PDC'

     NODE_NAME: TSG_PDC
     COPY_TYPE: ARCHIVE
FILESPACE_NAME: \\tsg_pdc\d$
  STGPOOL_NAME: MFSERVICES_3494
   VOLUME_NAME: AA9172

To establish which volumes are used by a particular node and stgpool we use
something like the following.

adsm> select distinct volume_name from volumeusage where
node_name='PR005052A' AND STGPOOL_NAME='NHHDA_3494'


VOLUME_NAME
------------------
A11023
A11023
A11025
A11028
A11033
A11035
A11036
A11051
A11056

Hope this helps.

Richard.
