8.71 HugePages Deprecated for PVM Guests as of Oracle VM Release 3.4.1

The HugePages feature is deprecated in Oracle VM Release 3.4.1. You should not enable HugePages when creating or editing virtual machines with a domain type of PVM in the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface or Oracle VM Manager Command Line Interface. This feature will be removed in a future release of Oracle VM.

If you have HugePages enabled for any PVM guests, Oracle recommends that you change the domain type for virtual machines from Paravirtualized (PVM) to Hardware virtualized, with paravirtualized drivers (PVHVM). If you cannot change the domain type for a virtual machine, you should disable the HugePages setting and then restart the virtual machine.

Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.
