There are a couple of things to consider to when looking for available HyperVolumes:

1.   If a device is unmapped, then it's obviously available. 

      # symdev list -sid xxxx -noport -bcv     will show you all the unmapped STD devices (as previously stated).

2.   If your system has been there for a while, you may find Devices that have been mapped to an FA-Port but never MASKED, or worse yet,

      masked to a Server that isn't there anymore.

     # symmaskdb list no_assignment -sid xxxx     Will show you volumes that are Mapped to FA Port but not Masked.

That gets you most of the way there.  The Devices that are mapped to an FA Port and Masked to a non-existent or "lost" WWN are harder to find.  You have to write a script.
