Why each option
VMware vCenter Converter cannot convert source machines using software RAID or GPT/MBR hybrid disk configurations, as both require special disk handling the tool does not support.
Linux LVM is supported by VMware Converter, which can read and convert LVM-based partition layouts from Linux source machines.
Windows basic volumes use standard MBR or GPT partitioning that Converter fully supports for physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual conversions.
Software RAID configurations are unsupported because Converter cannot replicate the software RAID controller metadata and dependencies into the resulting virtual machine disk.
GPT/MBR hybrid disks use a dual partitioning scheme that Converter cannot correctly interpret or reproduce during the physical-to-virtual or virtual-to-virtual conversion process.
Windows dynamic volumes, including spanned and striped types, are supported by VMware Converter during the conversion of Windows source machines.
