Questions about the upgrade path and the Interoperability Matrixes

Hello.

We're going to plan upgrading our vSphere cluster to 6.0. We're coming from Version 5.1.0 Build 2306353. When I'm right, this should be 5.1 U3.

I took a look in the VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes an found that there is no information about an upgrade from VMware ESX/ESXi 5.1 U3 -> 6.0. Does this mean, the upgrade from 5.1 U3 to 6.0 isn't possible or does it mean, that it isn't tested, yet?

The VMware vCenter Server 5.1 U3 is pointed out to be compatible with the new verstion 6.0.

Could anyone tell us wether it is possible to upgrade ESXi 5.1 U3 to 6.0 or not?

Thanks in advance.
