I just went for it and was able to sucessfully upgrade from 4.1 MP2 to 5.0 yesterday; my root disk is not encapsulated and the entire task took less than 90 Minutes for a two V440 node cluster.
You just have to make sure that you:
1. Unmount all VXFS filesystems
2. HAD is running.

I have another disk group.
During upgradation Volumes in this group are unmounted and disk group is deported.
But when executing with upgrade_start script,its thrown with these errors
upgrade_start: Error: The mirrored disk c1t1d0 is also encapsulated.
It is not possible to have encapsulated mirror disk. Remove
the unwanted directory from /etc/vx/reconfig.d/disk.d/
and try again.
Disk rootdg01 contains more than 5
volumes which cannot be unencapsulated. Move some volumes
to different disk and try again
Basically in my setup rootdg is mirrored.
Above entires shows that we have to un-mirror the rootdg.
But i am not sure how to un-mirror this.
Kindly help me out in this.
