The ESX 5.1 Image was imported without Problem .... in the vCenter working ESX4.0 Build 244038 Host ..ready for Upgrade ... to 5.1 and 5.0 ... depends on HCL ... give Host have no Support 5.1.

With Update Manager 5.1 you can unfortunately only upgrade the hosts to version 5.1.

from http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-update-manager-51-install-admi... (page 17)

Importing ESXi Images
...

With Update Manager 5.1 you can upgrade or migrate hosts that are running ESX/ESXi 4.x or ESXi 5.0 to ESXi 5.1. Host upgrades to ESX/ESXi 4.x or ESXi 5.0 are not supported.

You can also interactively upgrade the host using the ESXi 5.0 installation CD.
