Q. Is there a safe way to upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10, using Live Upgrade if the Root disk is encapsulated (vsfs) and mirrored?

It depends on the method of upgrading. You are mentioning Live Upgrade and this is possible if the target disk for the upgrade is not encapsulated, as the vxfs driver is not part of Sun's distribution. If you want a mirrored environment, you should use Solaris Volume Manager. It will produce the same result.

You should check the documentation regarding Solaris 10 upgrades at http://docs.sun.com.
