What were you trying to do that didn't work?

On a ppc64le system with enabled huge pages try to fetch i.e. 'mem.numa.hugepages.pagesize' metric. The command fails with the following error:

# pminfo -f mem.numa.hugepages.pagesize
mem.numa.hugepages.pagesize
No value(s) available!

or

# pmval -s 1 -i 'node1::16777216kB' 'mem.numa.hugepages.pagesize'
pmval: instance node1::16777216kB not available

 
This is strange as the huge-page exists and it is visible on the system:

# ls -1 /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB/
free_hugepages
nr_hugepages
surplus_hugepages
