Hi Fabrice,
The "hugepages" custom property value in oVirt should be set to *size of
the pages in KiB* (i.e. 1GiB = 1048576, 2MiB = 2048).
In addition, it is recommended to set the huge page size of the VM to the
largest size supported by the host.
In the configuration you sent, the huge page size of the VM is set to 64
KiB and since the VM's allocated memory size is at least 32,768 MiB then it
requires at least (32768 * 1024/64=) 524,288 pages. Since you only have 120
pages declared in the host then it failed with an error "...there are not
enough free huge pages to run the VM".
So to solve the problem, please change the VM's huge page size to be the
same as the host's huge page supported size which is 1GiB and therefore
hugepages value should be 1048576 KiB instead of 64:
<custom_property>
<name>hugepages</name>
<value>*1048576*</value>
</custom_property>
Please note that since total VM's memory size is no more than 64 GB then
only 64 pages will be needed by the VM and it's < 120 pages supported by
the host and therefore OK.
Hope it helped.
Regards,
Sharon

it well.
I have an host with 128GiB. I have configured reserved huge page:
cat /proc/cmdline
... hugepagesz=1GB hugepages=120

/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
I have a big VM running on it:
<custom_properties>
<custom_property>
<name>hugepages</name>
<value>64</value>
</custom_property>
</custom_properties>
<memory>68719476736</memory>, aka 65536 MiB
<memory_policy>
<guaranteed>34359738368</guaranteed>, aka 32768 MiB
<max>68719476736</max>
</memory_policy>
And it keep failing when I want to start it:

What am I missing ?
