On our server i use Ignite/UX (1.59) if you have Ignite then you need to use 'make_recovery -A' to make a bootable tape of your current setup. And, in addition, if you have more than one volume group, you need to make a complete backup with the aid of the backup utility in 'sam'.
Once this is done, insert the bootable tape (the one created in
the 'make_recovery' step) and boot from it. Interrupt the
automatic booting from the tape, and choose 'Advanced Options'.
The interface lets you change from HFS to VxFs (and other things
too; now is the time to change the sizes of the different partitions
if you want to do that!). After the files are read back,
you will have a system with VxFs instead of HFS. Note, however,
that the '/stand' partiotion *MUST* be HFS.
This is how we tried but never try utils other then Ignite so far. Perhaps any others have suggestion.

hmount
HMOUNT(1) General Commands Manual HMOUNT(1)
NAME
hmount - introduce a new HFS volume and make it current
SYNOPSIS
hmount source-path [partition-no]
DESCRIPTION
hmount is used to introduce a new HFS volume. A UNIX pathname to the volume's source must be specified. The source may be a block device or
a regular file containing an HFS volume image.
If the source medium is partitioned, one partition must be selected to be mounted. If there is only one HFS partition on the medium, it
will be selected by default. Otherwise, the desired partition number must be specified (as the ordinal nth HFS partition) on the command-
line. Partition number 0 can be specified to refer to the entire medium, ignoring what might otherwise be perceived as a partition map,
although in practice this is probably only useful if you want this command to fail when the medium is partitioned.
The mounted volume becomes "current" so subsequent commands will refer to it. The current working directory for the volume is set to the
root of the volume. This information is kept in a file named .hcwd in the user's home directory.
If the source medium is changed (e.g. floppy or CD-ROM disc exchanged) after hmount has been called, subsequent HFS commands will fail
until the original medium is replaced or a different volume is made current. To use the same source path with the different medium, reissue
the hmount command.
EXAMPLES
% hmount /dev/fd0
If a Macintosh floppy disk is available as /dev/fd0, this command makes the floppy current for other HFS commands such as hls(1),
hcd(1), hcopy(1), etc.
% hmount /dev/sd2 1
If a SCSI disk is available as /dev/sd2, this command finds the first HFS partition on the medium and makes it available for other
HFS operations.
NOTES
hmount does not actually mount an HFS partition over a UNIX directory in the traditional mount(8) sense. It is merely a "virtual" mount, as
a point of convenience for future HFS operations. Each HFS command independently opens, operates on, and closes the named source path given
to hmount.
