Mark,
There were lots of good answers to your question. I'll add MXI to the list of tools. But for my money, Kees reply was not only the first; it is the easiest for one volume. What I did not like, however, is that the error message text of CBR1064I that accompanies the D SMS command does not indicate that it is also valid for a non-SMS *DASD* volume. D SMS,VOL(XCB1AB) CBR1064I Command rejected. Volume serial number XCB1AB undefined. >From QuickRef: CBR1064I Command rejected. Volume serial number volser undefined. Explanation: The operator entered a command that requires the specification of a volume serial number. For commands affecting optical volumes, the volume serial number volser is either not defined in the optical configuration data base, or the optical configuration data base contains invalid fields in the row for the specified volume serial number. This message is preceded by a message or messages that contains information about the nature of the invalid fields in the optical configuration data base for the volume serial number. For commands that affect tape volumes, either the volume serial number volser is not defined in the tape configuration database, or the volume serial number is defined in the tape configuration database but is for a volume that is not supported by the level of OAM software on this system (volume record contains uplevel tape device selection information). The possibility also exists that the volume serial number that is specified is defined in the tape configuration database. However, a save control data set was activated that does not contain any tape library definitions. System Action: The command is rejected. Operator Response: Determine the cause of the error, then enter a command with a valid volume serial number. If the request failed because the volume is not supported on this OAM software level, reissue the command on a system where it is supported.
