Backupios Fails with 0512-008 savevg

Problem(Abstract)
Backupios command fails with 0512-008 savevg: The mkvgdata command failed. Backup canceled.
 
Symptom
$ backupios -file /home/padmin/mksysb/ibm74vioa_mksysb -mksysb
/home/padmin/mksysb/ibm74vioa_mksysb doesn't exist.

Creating /home/padmin/mksysb/ibm74vioa_mksysb
Backup in progress. This command can take a considerable amount of time
to complete, please be patient...


Creating information file (/image.data) for rootvg.
0512-008 savevg: The mkvgdata command failed. Backup canceled.

/usr/bin/mkvgdata[1068]: -: more tokens expected
 

Cause
This error is caused by having a user created filesystem mounted within rootvg.
 

Resolving the problem
Unmount all user-created filesystems in rootvg and re-run backupios command.
Note: crfs command is NOT part of the padmin restricted user, and therefore it is NOT supported to create user filesystems in the Virtual I/O Server.
