In tsm 6.1, the volhist and devconf files are mandatory in database restore actions, in tsm 5 you indeed had access to dsmserv display dbb. Even better, at least on Linux it's impossible to make database backup if you haven't configured devconf and volhist backup files.

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.
