Excluding the underlying program possible error messages, you can research
the following yourself:

Look through /bin/mksysb for lines such as,

        "`${dspmsg} -s $MSGSET $MSGCAT 4 '0512-007 %s: Abnormal program
termination.' $NAME`"

look through the files for the definitions of dspmsg (/usr/bin/dspmsg),
MSGGET, MSGCAT, etc., then display the message yourself (dspmsg simply
displays catalog messages). Then, you can check out 'backup' and other
command messages.

Subject: [aix-l] mksysb error message documentation

   All,

               Iam documenting some information regarding mksysb on the
company's homepage, so that it would be helpful for the on-call person to
troubleshoot issues with mksysb. It would be helpful if you could let me
know what would be the error messages when mksysb fails (eg: due to a bad
tape, bad tape drive etc...). I run the mksysb on the standalones and on the
sp nodes and it is run through cron.

 Thanks..
