V2V conversion from KVM to ESXi

Hello Team,

Is it possible to do V2V conversion from vms present on centos based KVM to ESXi hypervisor using vcenter converter tool?

Please provide possible ways also?

Treat the source VM as if it were a physical system, follow the instructions specific to whatever OS type it is using:

V2V conversion from KVM to ESXi   regarding this thread,

​I checked vCenter converter documentation , i havent found centos based kvm vms under supported power on type for source. document only showing Redhat based KVM vms under supported type... So here i am little bit confused. so does Centos based kvm vms will migrate using converter tool? Please suggest.
