You're a little unclear on what you want, but it seems to me you want to change a raidz2 to a raidz1 or something like that. That is, AFAIK, in the works, with the block rewrite functionality. As with most other parts of progress in OpenSolaris, nothing is clear about when or if this will get integrated into the system. For now, you can't change a raidz(n) VDEV and you can't detach a VDEV from a pool. The only way is to build a new pool and move the data with things like zfs send/receive. You can also remove a drive from a raidz(n), and reducing its redundancy, but you can't change the value of n.
