New functionality

It is possible to setup hugepages in EXAConf with parameter Hugepages in section Global. Following values are possible:

  1. 0 - hugepages are disabled, also removes all configured hugepages on the host.
  2. host - hugepages are configured manually in the host system by the user (effectively disables any hugepage configuration in exainit, if hugepages are available, they will be used)
  3. auto - calculate and setup required amount of hugepages automatically.
  4. <number> - setup specified number of hugepages.
