Afaik there is no such command. You got to backup and restore, or copy.

for just 1 file system backup and restore is probably best or create new jfs2 and then copy everything from 1 to other.
But if it is a rootvg and you want to convert you use the alt_disk_mksysb with the -T option.
here is a web site to help with the alt_disk command
Code:
