Fail to convert P2V at 3% with error. Host <IP> key can't be retrieved

The physical computer which I am trying to convert to a VM:

CentOS 6.6 running CLOUDLINUX 6.10

Destination ESXi host running: ESXi 6.7.0  build number: 8169922

The middle man computer which running: VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.2

CentOS computers are on the same network without any firewall restriction.

From the vCenter server managing the ESXi host I can see the VM was created, powered on and booted to the VMware converter helper. However, it stuck at the screen. And it then fail!From the middle man computer I see the error "A general system error occurred: Network error. Host 1x.2x.x.201 key can't be retrieved."
