ZFS filesystems are in a zpool which has devices. ZFS is equivalent to the 
combination of vxfs + vxvm, whereas ufs is directly on a device; you could make 
a ufs filesystem on a vxvm device (or a zfs zvol if you wanted). It isn't 
possible to directly convert, therefore, zfs to vxfs. Copy the data with a tar 
pipe combo and you'll get everything. This requires twice (or more, if your zfs 
filesystem was compressed) the storage but it works.

More interesting to me is some way to magically convert vxfs+vxfm -> zfs 
without needing twice the storage.

Subject: [Veritas-vx] ZFS to VxFS

Hello All;
Is there any way to convert ZFS to VxFS?
Vxfsconvert seems to work on ufs.
Please inform me.
Regards,
