Downtime is needed though but you can minimize the same by converting the VM to OVF and the deploy the same on your new environment. In OVF deployment the downtime will be less, the VM will be up during OVF template deployment and once you deploy the file on new vCenter you can uncheck the NIC connect option , once it is deployed only downtime needed is to interchange the IP by shutting down old running machine and configuring the same IP on new one. NOTE: Make sure to create local admin password first before exporting ovf.
