vMA5 questions

We just upgraded our vCenter and test ESXi host from 4.1 to 5.0 update 1

I have some vMA 4.1 appliances. Is there a way to upgrade them too, or do I just import a vSphere 5 vMA OVF into my environment, and setup all the relationships again?

I tried importing, and when it gets to the network section, all my networks are not listed, only one of four. Is there a document that I can look at to see how to list all the networks defined on my ESXi host when I am importing my vMA appliance?

Thanks!

There is no upgrade path from vMA 4 to 5. You'll need to do a fresh deploy of the OVA.

Per the documenation:

Important: You cannot upgrade from an earlier version of vMA to vMA 5.0. You need to do a fresh installation of vMA 5.0
