If it doesn't have a VOL1 (and thus no VOLSER), you'll get a "HHC02471E Format 4 DSCB record not found". Otherwise if it does have a VOL1 record, dasdls will report the volume's VOLSER.
If it doesn't have a VOL1 (dasdinit with -r option), you'll get "HHC02471E VOL1 record not found", if it does have a VOL1 but no VTOC (dasdinit without -r), dasdls will report "HHC02471E Format 4 DSCB record not found". As far as I know, dasdls will display the VOLSER only if the disk has a VTOC, either after being OS-formatted, CP-formatted, or created with dasdload. I assume that's because then the VOL1 record is "complete", containing both the VOLSER and the address of an existing (possibly empty) VTOC.
