Can we migrate/move VDIs from 1 vCenter to another?
If Yes ... How ? and has anybody tried or done this before?
Thank you,

If you are using linked clones, the short answer is no. We went thru this exercise last xmas. There was a ton of misleading documentation out there, some said you could do it, others said you could not. We tried for an entire weekend and in the end gave up.
Linked clones have their info stored with the composer, most likely installed on your current vCenter. Unless something has dramatically changed in 6.0, it won't work.
You'll need to re-create your pools, re-assign your users , then (if you're using them) re-attach the personal disks. Believe me, this was not a fun undertaking moving from one VC to another.
Here is my thread from Xmas time, it may help somewhat
Best Practice Help For Moving To New vCenter With Linked Clones
As the other poster suggested the only way to do this is to create new pools on the new vCenter instance and just redeploy everything. The only difficult part is when you have dedicated clones with persistent disk. I did this a long time ago and the first link below helped me with moving my dedicated clones to the new vCenter instance. The second link is simply the KB detailing the supported stance for migrating between vCenter instances.
