How do you move a VM running vCenter from one ESXi host to another?

I am running VMware vSphere 4.1 Essentials with a vCenter VM running on one of the ESXi hosts that I want to move to the other ESXi host. Both ESXi servers have direct attached storage, so the VM has to be moved from one datastore to another without vMotion. And, the migration function is not available for a powered on vCenter VM in the VMware Essentials version.

Can I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to move the vCenter VM to the new ESXi host? Will the move be recognized and updated by vCenter

when the vCenter VM is rebooted?

Any suggestions on how this can be done would be helpful.
