Please try below option.
1. Remove the hosts from previous vCenter. OR stop and disable the vCenter service for 4.0
2. Remove and re-add the hosts in your new vCenter 4.1.

Hi,
Do you still have the old VC running? If so, remove the ESX hosts from this, so that they 'unregister' themselves.
Once they have been removed, re-add them as per above post to the new VC. This will re-register and establish relationships correctly.
If you are trying to keep both VCs running concurrently, you are likely to get yourself into a world of pain.
One thing I can add is that it is worth checking that the services (on the VC . . in services.msc) have been set up to run as the same user as before and that the services start OK. I have found using your above migration plan often misses out this step (if you have a different user account for DB access etc)
good luck
you both missed the imp point
VC IP address has been changed thats why HOSTS keep disconnecting
Remove all the HOSTS from vCenter 4 using the vSphere client. Right Click and Disconnect. Then Right Click on the same Host and Remove. That will remove the agents and uregister the host from vCenter 4. Connect to the new vCenter 4.1 with the vSphere Client and add the hosts to the cluster.
