• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 14080 - VM pool checked (& VMs started, & VMs deleted) ?

  The SAP error message 14080, which states "VM pool checked (& VMs started, & VMs deleted)," typically relates to issues with the management of virtual machines (VMs) in an SAP landscape, particularly when using SAP's virtualization solutions like SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or SAP Cloud Platform.
  Cause:
  
  VM Pool Configuration Issues: The error may arise from misconfigurations in the VM pool settings, such as incorrect resource allocation or limits.
  Resource Availability: Insufficient resources (CPU, memory, storage) in the underlying infrastructure can lead to failures in starting or deleting VMs.
  Network Issues: Problems with network connectivity or configuration can prevent VMs from starting or communicating properly.
  Permissions: Lack of appropriate permissions for the user or service account trying to manage the VMs can lead to this error.
  State of VMs: The VMs may be in an inconsistent state, either already running or in a failed state, which can cause issues when trying to start or delete them.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check VM Pool Configuration: Review the configuration settings of the VM pool to ensure they are correct and meet the requirements for the VMs you are trying to manage.
  Resource Monitoring: Monitor the resource usage on the host machines to ensure there are enough resources available to start new VMs. If resources are low, consider scaling up the infrastructure.
  Network Configuration: Verify the network settings and ensure that all necessary ports are open and that there are no firewall issues preventing communication.
  Permissions Review: Ensure that the user or service account has the necessary permissions to manage the VMs in the pool.
  VM State Management: Check the state of the VMs in the pool. If any VMs are in a failed state, attempt to reset or delete them manually before retrying the operation.
  Logs and Monitoring: Review logs for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what went wrong. This can include checking the logs of the virtualization platform (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) and SAP LaMa logs.
