I'm not a networker expert, or for that matter, even know what I'm doing
behind the wheel of this project, but we have some tapes from a clients
networker server that we need to restore.  One tape in particular has
data on it we're interested in.  I googled and found that I needed to
run "scanner -i" on the tape, however, I'm still seeing odd behavior and
am not sure how to proceed.

It shows up in the volume list in nwadmin already.  And if I bring up
nwrecover, I can select files for the client that we need to restore
data from.  However, in nwrecover, the needed volumes lists only
"unknown".  So when I select some files and start the restore, it's sits
and spins trying to mount "unknown"
-----------------------
Recovering 29 files into their original locations

Volumes needed:
        Unknown
Requesting 29 file(s), this may take a while...
NSR server `ubsps00': Cannot find the volume needed

nwrecover: waiting 30 seconds then retrying
-----------------------

suggestions?  Links to a doc to RTFM? 

Thanks in advance....
