Add shared datastore to an ESXi managed by vCenter

Hi

 

We have 2 standalone ESXi 4.1 hosts and an ESXi 5.5 host in a location. The 3 ESXi hosts have a NAS box in common presented to all hosts as an iSCSI datastore. I want to add only the ESXi 5.5 host to our vCenter server. My question is: If I add the ESXi 5.5 host to the vCenter server, the iSCSI datastore will also be added to vCenter's datastore inventory. Will that affect the datastore connectivity to the 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts which will not be added to the vCenter server? In other words: will the iSCSI datastore be exclusively "owned" by the vCenter server after I add the ESXi 5.5 host to vCenter? Or will the ESXi 4.1 hosts still have access to it?
