HA Between ESX3i and ESX 3.5

Is HA between the different versions of ESXi and ESX 3.5 possible? I thought I read somewhere that vmotion between the two is not, and I wanted to make sure I could atleast do HA.

thanks

It is supported with Update 2 - from the release notes -

VMware High Availability (HA)

VirtualCenter 2.5 update 2 adds full support for monitoring individual virtual machine failures based on VMware tools heartbeats. This release also extends support for clusters containing mixed combinations of ESX and ESX Server 3i hosts, and minimizes previous configuration dependencies on DNS.
