Hi,
depends on why your filesystem is corrupted. You might have to fix filesystem errors in maintenance mode first. Than you can restore your filesystems using 'restore' command with the appropriate options (if your system still boots) - or reinstall your entire system from NIM. Please be aware that a mirrored rootvg is not always the best place to store an image - if your system doesnt boot you will not be able to access your mksysb - so better have it as well on backup with the opportunity to have be able to restore it somewhere else, too ... like on the NIM server.
