Hi Jan,
IBM only provides an OVA because we officially support VMWare.
Other clients have deployed RHEL to HyperV and then installed SOAR using the software installation nstructions in the documentation. That way there is no need to attempt to convert the OVA which from what I have heard is not always possible. You will need to pay for a RHEL license and all OS updates will be done using yum and not the security update files available on Fix Central.
