Without having the ability to backup an offline volume or being able to bring the volume online to an LPAR where the original source disk is not online, your only option is to perform an ICKDSF relabel of the disk and then vary it online and do a regular backup with DFSMSdss. You will need to manually manage the fact that the datasets contained on the relabelled volume are not catalogued.
