VxVM installs in information on the disk itself iirc. If you only have you
array under VxVM control you should be able to upgrade Solaris, and VxVM,
and have your disks recognized.

This would of course be required for the root drive, but you already said that your root drive is not using VxVM.  In my experience, I have seen that data may be difficult to recover if you don't do this.  But this could be due to my relative lack of experience.  I am by no means a guru.  unencapsulating the drive and uninstalling VxVM before performing the OS upgrade should cause you the least headache.
