  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VIRT024 - CPU Virtualization Virtual Container ?

    The SAP error message VIRT024 typically relates to issues with CPU virtualization in the context of SAP systems running on virtualized environments. This error can occur when the SAP system detects that the virtual machine (VM) is not configured correctly for virtualization features, which can impact performance and functionality.

    Cause:

    The VIRT024 error can be caused by several factors, including:

    1. Lack of Virtualization Support: The physical CPU may not support virtualization features (like Intel VT-x or AMD-V).
    2. BIOS Settings: Virtualization support may be disabled in the BIOS settings of the physical server.
    3. Hypervisor Configuration: The hypervisor (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V, etc.) may not be configured to allow the guest operating system to utilize virtualization features.
    4. SAP Kernel Issues: There may be issues with the SAP kernel version that is not compatible with the virtualization settings.
    5. Resource Allocation: Insufficient CPU resources allocated to the virtual machine.

    Solution:

    To resolve the VIRT024 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check CPU Virtualization Support:

      • Verify that the physical CPU supports virtualization. You can check this in the CPU specifications or by using tools like CPU-Z.
    2. Enable Virtualization in BIOS:

      • Restart the physical server and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings.
      • Look for options related to virtualization (e.g., Intel VT, AMD-V) and ensure they are enabled.
    3. Review Hypervisor Settings:

      • Check the configuration of your hypervisor to ensure that virtualization features are enabled for the VM.
      • For VMware, ensure that "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT" or "Virtualize AMD-V/RVI" is enabled in the VM settings.
    4. Update SAP Kernel:

      • Ensure that you are using a compatible and up-to-date version of the SAP kernel. Check SAP notes for any specific requirements related to virtualization.
    5. Allocate Sufficient Resources:

      • Ensure that the VM has adequate CPU resources allocated. This includes checking the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the VM.
    6. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation and notes for any specific configurations or requirements related to virtualization.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to virtualization and the specific error message for any updates or patches.
    • System Requirements: Review the system requirements for your specific SAP version to ensure compatibility with virtualization technologies.
    • Performance Monitoring: After resolving the issue, monitor the performance of the SAP system to ensure that it is operating optimally in the virtualized environment.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or your virtualization platform's support for further assistance.
