I've never used VxVM, but Gerry Haskins writes in his blog today:

   "Veritas now supports Solaris Live Upgrade"
   http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/veritas_now_supports_solaris_live
 
http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/sf/5.0/solaris/html/sf_install/ig_ch_install_sol_vm_fs15.html
   VxVM Live Upgrade supports the following:

   * Upgrading VxVM only (both encapsulated and unencapsulated root disk)
   * Upgrading Solaris OS only (both encapsulated and unencapsulated 
root disk)
   * Upgrading both Solaris OS and VxVM (both encapsulated and 
unencapsulated root disk)
   * Installing any VxVM or Solaris OS patches

This looks promising ..

Martin.
