Azure Migrate Initial Discovery of all 3 type of sources VMware, HyperV and Physical servers

Currently we have servers on all 3 sources as below in the on-premises environment.
VMware = 300+
HyperV = 37
Physical = 24

Can we perform initial discovery of all 3 sources using 1 migrate appliance deployed with OVA file in VMware host?

I know there are 3 different ways to deploy azure migrate via OVA, VHD and Powershell script, just want to understand if we have 1 appliance can we discover all 3 sources. If yes then the port and credential requirement will remain same as mention in Microsoft docs https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-discover-vmware and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-discover-hyper-v and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-discover-physical?

Thanks in advance

    @Sachin.Panchal Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    We need three appliances one for each environment. If we have more than one VMware environment, then we need that many appliances. This logic applies - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/common-questions-appliance#can-the-azure-migrate-appliance-connect-to-multiple-vcenter-servers for all the sources (VMware, Hyper-V and Physical). That being said, we do not have unified appliance available as of now.

    If you think this is one of the key requirement/enhancement that Azure migrate appliance should have then I recommend you to share this as a feedback directly to Azure migrate feature PM through UserVoice forum.
