Networker will support ZFS in the next release, which is due out in a
month or so (I've got the beta bits around here somewhere, but haven't
had a chance to play with them yet).  In the interum there's a hack or
two floating about that will make it work.

I seriously doubt we'll ever get a text-based version like smitty, but
most new stuff is being done via Web GUIs. For some things this works
quite well, for others not so well...  If you google you'll find an
example of the ZFS GUI that's in OpenSolaris (will make a later release
of Solaris 10)
