It is not advisable to use ESX 5.1 because it is not supported. If your VM has problems, then to get support you might have to prove that the problems are not due to ESX 5.1. If you want to use ESX 5.1, wait for a while until BE 2012 SP2 which provides support for ESX 5.1 is released.

Thanks. When will BE 2012 SP2 be relased? Also I will be using only CASO function and there wont be any backup in this server. This server will only manage BE Media servers.

Frankly, if you're not doing any backups. Your choice of HyperVisor has ZERO bearing here. BackupExec cannnot currently backup ESXi 5.1. There is no practical limitation to running Windows on ESXi 5.1 and within it BackupExec's CASO option..
