Thanks for the reply.

For issue 1:
    I do mount the hugetlbfs filesystem. 
    But forget the configure /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.  The default value do not work.  :(
    Sorry for that.

For issue 2:
    I'm using the default qemu from my OS.
        qemu-system-x86_64 -version
            QEMU emulator version 2.1.0 (Debian 2.1+dfsg-4ubuntu6.4), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

From https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L341-L381
The highest qemu version requested is 2.0.0 (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L374)
So, I think my qemu version should work.

While in the help message:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -h |grep numa
        -numa node[,mem=size][,cpus=cpu[-cpu]][,nodeid=node]
        -numa node[,memdev=id][,cpus=cpu[-cpu]][,nodeid=node]

Looks like it do support numa, but the command line is a little different.
Because in compute.log, the command is :
    qemu-system-x86_64: -object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=4096M,id=ram-node0,host-nodes=0,policy=bind


I don't know how to solve this. :(
Hope can get more help.


Thanks.

That is saying you have not configured the host to allow use of huge pages - you need the hugetlbfs filesystem mounted, to provide access to the huge pges of the required size.

The version of QEMU you have is either too old, or it was built without numa support
