• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VIRT141 - Physical CPUs Consumed ?

  The SAP error message VIRT141, which indicates "Physical CPUs Consumed," typically relates to the consumption of physical CPU resources in a virtualized environment. This error can occur in systems that are running on virtual machines (VMs) and is often associated with performance issues or resource allocation problems.
  
  Cause:
  
  Resource Overcommitment: In a virtualized environment, if the total number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) assigned to VMs exceeds the number of physical CPUs available, it can lead to this error. This is known as overcommitment.
  High CPU Utilization: If the physical CPUs are heavily utilized, it can trigger this error. This can happen due to high workloads or inefficient resource allocation.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the virtual machine settings, such as CPU affinity or limits, can also lead to this error.
  Virtualization Layer Limitations: Some virtualization platforms have limitations on how resources are allocated and managed, which can lead to this error if not properly configured.
