You have to create two independent system backups with mksysb as if it were non-clustered systems.

If it is the original drive from IBM, it can only write on DVD RAM.
UDF is the recommended format, because it allows multi volume backup for DVD RAM.
The temporary filesystem should not be in rootvg or must be excluded from the backup in in /etc/exclude.rootvg
