Hi,

I want to use virsh to create a VM with the qemu parameter '-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=2048M,mem-path=/mnt/huge,share=on -numa node,memdev=mem'.
Looking at tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-hugepages-pages.args, I
see several instances of "-object memory-backend-file...", so look at
the counterpart .xml file for some examples:

   <memoryBacking>
     <hugepages>
       <page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='1'/>
       <page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0,2-3'/>
     </hugepages>
   </memoryBacking>


Thank you.

I use this xml:
   <cpu>
     <numa>
       <cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='1073741824' memAccess='shared'/>
       <cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='1073741824' memAccess='shared'/>
     </numa>
   </cpu>
  <memoryBacking>
     <hugepages>
       <page size="2" unit="M" nodeset="0,1"/>
     </hugepages>
  </memoryBacking>

but there is also some error:
[2014-09-28T05:28:32.373335Z] migration_configure:652 Parameter 'cache size' expects exceeds guest ram size
[2014-09-28T05:28:32.373422Z] main:3517 start memory options parse

2014-09-28T05:28:32.373895Z qemu-kvm: -object memory-backend-file,prealloc=yes,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/libvirt/qemu,size=1048576M,id=ram-node1: unable to map backing store for hugepages: Cannot allocate memory

get total number of the hugepages you could use:
# cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

From your xml:
      <cell id='0' cpus='0' memory='1073741824' memAccess='shared'/>
      <cell id='1' cpus='1' memory='1073741824' memAccess='shared'/>
I guess your machine doesn't have so much hugepage memory: sum(1073741824 + 1073741824)=2048G !!!
