• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VIRT140 - Physical CPUs ?

  The SAP error message VIRT140 typically relates to issues with the physical CPU configuration in a virtualized environment. This error can occur when the SAP system detects a discrepancy between the expected and actual physical CPU resources available to it. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Physical CPUs: The virtual machine (VM) may be configured to use more virtual CPUs than the underlying physical CPUs available on the host machine.
  CPU Overcommitment: In a virtualized environment, if too many virtual CPUs are allocated across multiple VMs, it can lead to performance issues and errors like VIRT140.
  Configuration Mismatch: The SAP system may have specific requirements for CPU configuration that are not being met by the current setup.
  Licensing Issues: Sometimes, the error can be related to licensing constraints where the number of CPUs exceeds what is allowed by the SAP license.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check CPU Configuration: Verify the number of physical
