The memory allocated to 16MB pages can only be used for 16MB pages, and the
memory allocated to 16GB pages can only be used for 16GB pages. Thus, pages of these
aixtrmultiplepagewp030206.doc 4
sizes should only be configured in high-performance environments. The use of 16MB
and 16GB pages is restricted. In order to allocate pages of these sizes, a user must have
the CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM and CAP_PROPAGATE capabilities or have root
authority. The chuser command can be used to grant these capabilities to users.

如果用上large page

可以用vmstat -l  看 會多出三列內容

$ vmstat -l
System configuration: lcpu=2 mem=7424MB
kthr memory page faults cpu large-page
