Volumes are created on fileservers with vos create. However, before they can be used, they need to be mounted somewhere within the AFS filespace. This is done with the fs mkmount command. In implementation, a mountpoint is a symlink that's interpreted specially by the AFS client. The fs lsmount command can be used to examine what volume is mounted on a given mountpoint.
[zacheiss@riff-raff-w20] ~> fs lsm sipb 'sipb' is a mount point for volume '#sipb.mit.edu:user.zacheiss'
