Westmere is the current option since we dont have sandy Bridge on 4.1.Yes they wont allow to be migrated to a Sandy Bridge EVC cluster...Westmere should be used..You are correct :).. If its a new DB, the ESX 4.1 hosts wont a part of new vCenter 5.1 inventory. Further you might need a downtime again for VMs once everything is upgraded to ESXi 5.1 and you intend to change your VMs to run in Sandy Bridge EVC cluster.. Please ask as many questions as you like.. Remember Answer can be Stupid, but questions can never be.. :)
