From the Oracle OLVM support:
Configuring the Hugepages for guest VMs should be suffice, however, it needs the KVM hosts too configured with the Hugepages.
Since, if it not you may end with issues while staring the guest VMs.
I really don't know what to do now.

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 ?
