Again, is it just me or does this basic question from "BalajiUthira" seem like it is taken from an assignment or text book? Sounds like they are asking us to complete and answer questions for homework.
Not to offend anyone (as I know there are a lot of newbies on this site like myself) but really? What makes me curious is questions 3 and 4:
3. what is the effect of smit.cat file ?
4. What are all the files present in /etc/objrepos/ filesystem related to SMIT rather how and in what means SMIT uses the /etc/objrepos/ filesystem
What is it you are really intending to ask here?
Anyhow - a thanks to allanwang77 should be given for attempting to answer.

gfs2_convert
gfs2_convert(8) System Manager's Manual gfs2_convert(8)
NAME
gfs2_convert - Convert a GFS1 filesystem to GFS2
SYNOPSIS
gfs2_convert [OPTION]... DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
gfs2_convert is used to convert a filesystem from GFS1 to GFS2. It is required that the GFS1 filesystem be checked and fixed for errors
using fsck.gfs2 and that the filesystem be backed up before attempting to convert it. The convert process is irreversible and any error
encountered during the conversion can result in the abrupt termination of the program and consequently an unusable filesystem. See NOTES
section below for more information.
OPTIONS
-h Help.
This prints out the proper command line usage syntax.
-q Quiet. Print less information while running.
-n No to all questions.
-V Print program Version information only.
Print out the current version name.
-v Verbose operation.
Print more information while running.
-y Yes to all questions.
By specifying this option, gfs2_convert will not prompt before making changes.
EXAMPLE
gfs2_convert /dev/vg0/lvol0
This will convert the Global File System on the block device "/dev/vg0/lvol0" to gfs2 format.
NOTES
If gfs2_convert is interrupted for some reason other than a conversion failure, DO NOT run gfs2_fsck on this partially converted filesys-
tem. When this occurs, reissue the gfs2_convert command on the partially converted filesystem to complete the conversion process.
The GFS2 filesystem does not support Context-Dependent Path Names (CDPNs). gfs2_convert identifies such CDPNs and replaces them with empty
directories with the same name. The administrator can use bind mounts on these directories to get the same effect as CDPNs.
When converting full or nearly full filesystems, it is possible that there won't be enough space available to fit all the GFS2 filesystem
data structures. In such cases, the size of all the journals is reduced uniformly such that everything fits in the available space.
