• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VIRT337 - Min. LPAR Weight IIP ?

  The SAP error message VIRT337 "Min. LPAR Weight IIP" typically relates to issues with the configuration of the SAP system in a virtualized environment, particularly when using IBM Power Systems with Logical Partitioning (LPAR). This error indicates that the minimum weight for the LPAR is not set correctly, which can affect the performance and resource allocation for the SAP instance.
