My virtual machine environment is advised by Oracle to use traditional huge pages and turn off transparent huge pages.

At the same time, I have three choices on the KVM server:
first, use the transparent huge page as the system default;
second, use the traditional huge page as the VIRTUAL machine;
third, disable the transparent huge page without activating the traditional huge page.

I'd like to know if there is a recommendation order for these three plans?

Because I feel that the amount of memory managed and used by the phisical machine is much larger than that of the virtrual machine, if large pages are not enabled on physical machines, will it be effective to enable large pages on virtual machines?

Even it's possible to set traditional huge pages on virtual machines on this condation, but I'm not sure it will work as expected.

For 4.3 - yes. This is due to the issues in 4.3
Once you move to 4.4 , you should be able to enable HugePages (not THP) on the Hypervisors without troubles.

I assume that your workload is 'in production' and stability (no downtime) is more important that some performance gain from HugePages on the Hypervisors.

@Simon,

any hints when OLVM 4.4 will be released ?
