Yes, if you use VM you are less likely of blowing your foot off should you
need to upgrade your system to, say, patch level 108528-23 and you are
fearful of the outcome, or not knowledgable enough to backup and recover
a veritas encapsulated system.

Many administrators have chosen a hybrid of
using SVM to mirror the root drive and Veritas to manage storage. I
suspect because they are placed in the same situation as I, required to
install production ready, redundant systems, but given inadequate training
on the tools to accomplish the task.

Hey, but take a look here.
