Utilizing enhaced vMotion with ESX4.1

$

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to use the new enhanced vMotion capabilities (migrate VMs without a shared storage) with just the vCenter updated to 5.1.

I have an environment where I have a virtual vCenter 4.1 and several classic ESX 4.1 which are not connected to a shared storage.

To update the environment to 5.1 I need a downtime of the VMs since I have to shut them down, move them to another server, reinstall the ESX to ESXi 5.1.

 

My question is, can I just update the vCenter to 5.1, use the enhanced vMotion to move the VMs from one ESX to another or do I need to have the 5.1 version on the Hypersivor as well for enhanced vMotion to work?

 

Thanks in advance.
