• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VIRT106 - Minimum Number of Physical CPUs Configured (Reserved) ?

  The SAP error message VIRT106: Minimum Number of Physical CPUs Configured (Reserved) typically indicates that the SAP system is not able to allocate the minimum number of physical CPUs required for its operation. This can occur in virtualized environments where the SAP system is running on virtual machines (VMs) and the underlying physical resources are not configured correctly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Physical CPUs: The virtual machine may not have enough physical CPU resources allocated to meet the minimum requirements set by the SAP system.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the virtual machine may not align with the SAP system's requirements, such as the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) not matching the expected physical CPU allocation.
  Resource Reservations: In some virtualization environments, there may be resource reservations that prevent the VM from accessing the required number of physical CPUs.
  Licensing Issues: Sometimes, licensing restrictions may limit the number of CPUs that can be allocated to the SAP
