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.

transparent huge pages are not used on vm and physical host.
 
But, can I enable hugepage memory on  virtual machines but not on a physical machine?
For database running on vm, and it needs to config hugepage.

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.

Understand this so that we can develop guidelines for optimal memory usage scenarios for virtual machines.
