• Key Concepts: 
  Eviction is a process in the BC-VMC Virtual Machine Container (VMC) component of SAP that allows for the removal of virtual machines from the system. This process is used to free up resources and ensure that the system is running efficiently. It is triggered when a virtual machine has been inactive for a certain period of time or when the system needs to reclaim resources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Eviction can be triggered manually or automatically. To manually trigger eviction, an administrator can select a virtual machine and click the “Evict” button. This will immediately remove the virtual machine from the system. To set up automatic eviction, an administrator can configure a policy that will trigger eviction after a certain period of inactivity or when the system needs to reclaim resources. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that eviction is not reversible and any data stored on the virtual machine will be lost. Therefore, it is important to back up any data before evicting a virtual machine. Additionally, it is important to monitor the system closely to ensure that eviction is not triggered unnecessarily.
