    • VMware Workstation or VMware Player:
    • Oracle VirtualBox:
    • Why can't you directly run it without VirtualBox or VMware?
    • The .ova file is designed to run inside a virtualized environment that mimics the hardware and software configuration required by SAP HANA. It already includes a Linux-based OS (SLES or RHEL) and all necessary dependencies.
    • Without a hypervisor like VMware or VirtualBox, you would have to manually install and configure SAP HANA on a bare-metal server running a compatible OS, which is complex and time-consuming.
