You can't do an in-place UFS->ZFS conversion. The only way to do it is
by using two slices on the Solaris partition, installing UFS to one
slice, then running something like:

to copy the data over to ZFS on the other slice.  I haven't tried this
in vmware though, so I'm not sure if it works inside a virtual machine.
Works fine on my desktop.


Or, if you're feeling like experimenting around with some bleeding-edge
software, you could try OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2, which installs
directly to ZFS root (no UFS anywhere) from a livecd:
