After building an ESXi 5.1 host and setting up the networking I found I was unable to vMotion any machines onto the new host once added to vCenter. Whilst I had correctly added a vMotion VMKernel port, on the new host I had created the Virtual Machine Port Groups with the label all in capitals (eg. SERVERS rather than Servers).
In order for vMotion to proceed, the label of the port group must match that on the old ESXi 4 hosts.
