Can you configure HUGE Pages to use all available memory? Would the PGA then just ignore the setting and use normal pages instead. Do you have to specifically allocate only enough memory for HUGE Pages to cover the SGA and leaving the rest as normal?

So you only need to worry about the SGA pools and buffer cache. For this same reason, you can't use AMM if you want to use HugePages, you have to set memory_target and memory_max_size to 0.

When determining how many HUGE PAGES to allocate, do we just consider the SGA, the SGA and PGA or should all memory be assigned to HUGE Pages.
