Im afraid IBM doesnt offer that possibility ...
You will have to do an mksysb -i (for image.data file to be included...) to disk and copy this image on the other server you can the save it on tape but unless you do more to it, it can not be used "as a mksysb" tape for it will not be bootable...
You will have to use NIM to install with it...
