So far, i was unable to find upgarde patch file from esxi5.0 to esxi5.1

Does any one know?

To do this you will need only download the .ISO image from VMware website, import on VMware Update Manager and attach to a host upgrade baseline.

Check the documentation for more details: Importing ESXi Images

For Major upgrade or across release ( 5.0 --> 5.1 or 5.0 -->5.5 )you should have .ISO images & upload from ESXi Images tab under update manager, Create a baseline & attach to your 5.0 host & then Remediate.
