The simple solution is to simply set the affected volume to volstatus Used. It will then be recycled normally. The more difficult one is to set the number of files on tape correspondingly in the catalog - the information should be in the error message - and the volstatus to Append. This has the advantage that remaining tape capacity will be used, but of course every manual intervention can result in new errors... as tapes are cheap, and I usually have spare ones at hand, I prefer the first solution. You should delete the failed jobs from the catalog in any case.
