Our DB team wants to upgrade our largest and most active sql server.
I would like to convert it to vvol architecture prior to the upgrade. Can it be converted live like a storage vmotion or would I need an outage window?

Depends on how your SQL Server is consuming disks.
VMDK? Storage vMotion
Clustered VMDK? Storage vMotion, but you'll have to bring down some (VM) nodes & repoint after moving.
pRDM? Power off and Storage vMotion or create new (empty disks) and overwrite from the pRDM/snaps and still true if clustering in having to bring nodes down and repoint
