Hi You can do one thing however.
You can backup MKSYSB your OS and then use the DEFINE REVOCERYMEDIA command to define the new mksysb volumes in TSM. Then associate one or more machines with your recovery media. example Define recmendachassociation %youre tape% %youre node name% If you move youre recoverymedia offsite you should use the update recoverymedia command to update its location. you can then define media that contain softcopy manualst that you would need during recovery, with the define revocerymedia command. Remember, the MKSYSB command will not work if both TSM and AIX are sharing the same drive or drives. To use the operating system?s native tape device drivers conjuction with a SCSI drive, the device must be configured to AIX first and then configured to TSM. See your AIX documentatnion regarding these native device drivers. Hope this helps.

It can not be used to reload a crashed machine as mksysb, unless you also have some 3rd party software like Bare Metal Restore from The Kernel Group, and that requires some additional hardware (servers) etc. Same for other Unix machines - doesn't duplicate HP-UX ignite tape or SUN Jumpstart.
