Thank you for your answer but my license its just a standard so i cant export host profile by vcenter.

Its possible using CLI to export host profile or a free tool can do it ?

So its mean if i export by powercli the configuration of my esx1 i can import after on my esx4 and just changed the ip address ?

Run the following command (as you can see it in the attached link by the scott's first reply) it will generate a bandle file include all the ESXi configuratuin in the /scratsch/downloads directory. Remember it's a temporary file and will be deleted soon, so you should pick it up ASAP.
