Azure Migrate Initial Discovery of all 3 type of on-prem source VMware, Hyper-V 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://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-discover-vmware and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-discover-hyper-v and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-discover-physical?

Thanks in advance

    Sachin_Panchal My guess is no.  seems you would need at least a separate appliance for hyper-V.  as for the powershell one, dunno, maybe that can be included in the hyper-v appliance.  I would think the vmware ova one would discover only those vm's hosted in vmware.
