There is a server with ESXi 6.5. It is required to transfer virtual machines to a server running ESXi 5.1. Is such a transfer possible? Will virtual machines work? OS vm - different versions of Linux.

A painfully sharp decline. If the machines of version 9 will work, if they are higher, they will not start, the hyper will not understand the virtual hardware. ESXi 6.5 is version 13

If the virtuals have a new version of virtual hw - most likely it will not start.

Virtual hw version - can be lowered by handles if you really need it

Everything will work, the only limitation may be on the maximums in virtual hardware
