Problem virtualizing physical server with Red Hat 8 dedicated to Oracle

Hello, I have a problem when trying to virtualize for a Vmware environment, a physical server "Lenovo SR-650" with a linux operating system "Red Hat 8" (installed in UEFI mode) dedicated to Oracle, with the application "Vmware Vcenter Converter Standalone 6.2.0", but it gives me the following error:
"The destination does not support efi firmware"

I have tried to do it through the Vmware 7.0 U2d environment, both from the vcenter and from an ESXI, but I get the same error. I have also tried in "xclarity", to change the mode from UEFI to BIOS, but then it does not boot and I have even disabled secure boot, but the same thing happens. I would be very grateful if someone tell me about a different application to try to do it or another procedure.

Greetings.

VMTN has an area for vCenter Converter Standalone, a moderator will be along to move this thread there.

The {code} area is for SDK matters.

Your duplicate thread (also in the {code} area) will disappear.
