I assume you meant a database backup volume. For TSM 6.1, I do not know of
any way to display the contents of a database backup volume as has existed
in pre-TSM 6.1 (see the TSM 5.5 Admin Ref book under "Server Utilities").
Hence the comments in the documentation that the volume history is crucial
for any database restore. A reminder - a prepare command saves the volume
history in the disaster recovery plan file.

If you issue

dsmserv display dbb devc=sata vol=41127511.dbv

TSM 6.1 gives

ANR4855I Command DISPLAY DBBACKUPVOLUMES is no longer supported and there
is no direct replacement for this capability.
