Moving guests between hosts without vMotion

I am not sure if this should go in the ESXi 6.0 or ESX 4.0 groups,  I have two server running VMware.  One is running VMware 4.1.0 standard and the other is running VMware 6.0.0 standard.  I need to move the guest from the server running 4.1.0 to the server running 6.0.0. I cannot connect the older server to my vCenter server as it no longer supports the older version of VMware.  My question is what is the best way to move the guests form the older server to the newer server.  Since vMotion will not work.  The VM guests are all stored on shared storage an EqualLogic SAN.  Do I need to power them off remove them from inventory on the old server, then add them to inventory on the new server and power them back up?  The other option is to use the standalone converter.  Which would be the better option?  Will the converter move them while powered on or do I need to power them off to use that method also?  Is there another way to move them while powered on?
