Ashley,
Although we do support the migration of native File Systems to VxFS, QFS to my knowledge is not on the list of supported source FS types. Depending on how much data is resident on the file system, you may want to consider a tar pipe.
tar -C /oldirectory -cvpf - . | tar -C /newdirector -xvf -
This will maintain directory and file permissions as well as time stamps I believe.
You will want to make sure there is no I/O to the source directory when this is executed.
Otherwise if the dataset is rather large, the backup and restore option is probably your best bet.
