ESX 4.1 Configuration Issues after VCenter 5.1u1 upgrade ?

Hi,

I got this error / warning in all of my ESX 4.1 433742 hosts after I have successfully upgraded the VCenter 5.1u1

The number of vSphere HA heartbeat datastores for this host is 1 which is
less than required 2

What should I do to fix that issue as per this article: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/04/05/the-number-of-vsphere-ha-heartbeat-datastores-for-this-host-is-1-which-is-less-than-required-2/

should I put check box in that one and only data store ?

I don't want to create any unwanted downtime by any chance.

Akshay,

Does this step "De-select Turn on vSphere HA and click OK." causing any down time to the production VM ?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
