Not able to run LinuxLite-Pega231.ova in VMWare Fusion or Oracle VirtualBox for Macbook Pro with Apple M4 Chip
Hi Team,
As per the following support article, it seems that VM provided in the LSA mission is based on the (Intel-based) X86 machine architecture and if we are using a Mac with the M1 or M2 chips, we will not be able to run the VM - in any VM Player.
Please help me find an alternate way possible to overcome this. Thank you!

@Abhinav_Chaudhary as per the forum post you reference:

The VM provided in the LSA mission is based on the (Intel-based) X86 machine architecture. If you are using a Mac with the M1 or M2 chips, you will not be able to run the VM - in any VM Player.
There is no workaround, as you cannot convert the OVA directly.

@MarijeSchillernI understand that OVA way will not work. Please let me know apart from OVA, what other workaround I can use to appear for LSA exam.
