Correct if you supply a volume serial it will use it. If you don't have the -l 
xxxxxx on the command
then it will use 0Xdevno as the volume serial.

"fdasd or dasdfmt, one, will by default set the volser to 0Xdevno.
So, yes."

VM Newbie Answering a question

We do a dasdfmt command with the -l option to add a volume name. Example:

dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -f /dev/dasdb -l vol001 &

Now when you view it from MVS it shows as vol001
