Well you seem to be in between a rock and a hard place.
Your VMLibrary should not be on the partition in the first place, what is it and how did it get there by a supported means? - not supported.
IBM do not provide the means to exclude an FS from the VIOS backup - because there should be no need.
You could go down the oem_setup_env / mksysb / savevg / backup route - not supported.
You could raise a Design Change Request - Ha ha.
You could delete the /VMLibrary - after backing up to your NIM server...
Why is it not on your NIM or backup server in the first place?
I created it as padmin running "mkrep -sp rootvg -size 16G"
We only have rootvg on our VIO servers. All our VIO servers are installed on mirrored internal 140 gig disks. Even with this 16 gig filesystem, I still have over 100 gig free. I'd rather keep the images on my VIO server because of all the unused space they have.
I guess I'll just have to get more DASD space on my NIM server to hold the backupios backups with the disk images included.... shesh... oh well.
working through VIOS backup options. Generally, we store mksysb's on a server and then NFS mount them from it to copy to a VIO optical library, etc.
In the case of a VIO backup, I see the -mksysb option to backupios and understand that it doesn't include the NIM resources in the backup.

Hi Team,
Please help me to resolve the below backup (backupios) issue on my VIO.
My VIO is a SAN booted from EMC and powerpath has been installed on this.
We already run pprootdev fix and linked the /dev/ipldevice to rootvg hdisk.
