• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VIRT107 - Maximum Number of Physical CPUs Configured (Limit) ?

  The SAP error message VIRT107 indicates that the maximum number of physical CPUs configured for the SAP system has been exceeded. This error typically arises in environments where the SAP system is running on virtual machines or cloud infrastructure, and it is related to the configuration of the underlying hardware resources.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding CPU Limits: The error occurs when the number of physical CPUs assigned to the SAP instance exceeds the limits set by the SAP licensing or the virtualization platform.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the SAP system settings or the virtualization environment that leads to the system trying to utilize more CPUs than allowed.
  Licensing Restrictions: SAP licenses often have restrictions on the number of CPUs that can be used, and exceeding this limit can trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the SAP system to ensure that the number of CPUs assigned does not exceed the maximum allowed by your SAP license.
  In the SAP system, you can check the number of CPUs configured by using transaction code RZ10 or by checking the instance profile parameters.
  
  
  
  Adjust CPU Allocation:
  
  If you are running on a virtual machine, adjust the CPU allocation in the virtualization platform (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V, etc.) to ensure it complies with the SAP licensing agreement.
  Reduce the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the SAP instance if it exceeds the limit.
  
  
  
  Review SAP License:
  
  Consult your SAP licensing agreement to understand the maximum number of CPUs allowed for your specific license type.
  If you need to increase the number of CPUs for performance reasons, consider discussing with your SAP account representative about upgrading your license.
  
  
  
  Restart the SAP Instance:
  
  After making changes to the CPU configuration, restart the SAP instance to apply the new settings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
