I think that if you run VMs with Databases, you must disable transparent huge pages on
Hypervisour level and on VM level. Yet, if you wish you can use regular huge pages on VM
level.

What problem will appear if I use the default transparent huge page enabled mode for
physical hosts, but configure traditional huge page memory on the virtual machine for
database SGA ?
Or is it better to disable transparent huge page on physical machines and still use
traditional huge page memory on virtual machines?
Which one is prefer ?

>> Transparent huge pages are enabled by default, so you need to stop them.I would
use huge pages on both host and VM, but theoretically it shouldn't be a problem
running a VM with enabled HugePages without configuring on Host.Best Regards,Strahil

Sway <sz_cuitao(a)163.com>Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] About the vm memory limit It
depends on the numa configuration of the host. If you have 256G per CPU, it's best to
stay into that range. Also, consider disabling transparent huge pages on the host &
VM. Since 4.4 Regular Huge Pages (do not confuse them with THP) can be used on the
Hypervisors, while on 4.3 there were some issues but I can't provode any details. Best
