  The SAP error message VIRT402 typically relates to issues with virtual CPUs (vCPUs) in a virtualized environment, particularly when using SAP applications on platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, or other virtualization technologies. This error can occur due to various reasons, including resource allocation issues, configuration problems, or limitations imposed by the underlying infrastructure.
  
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient vCPUs: The virtual machine (VM) may not have enough virtual CPUs allocated to meet the requirements of the SAP application.
  Overcommitment of Resources: If the hypervisor has overcommitted CPU resources, it may lead to performance issues and trigger this error.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the VM or the hypervisor settings can lead to this error.
  Licensing Issues: Sometimes, licensing restrictions on the number of vCPUs can also cause this error.
  SAP Kernel Limitations: The version of the SAP kernel being used may have limitations regarding the number of vCPUs it can effectively utilize.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Increase vCPU Allocation: Check the current allocation of vCPUs
