Jay S. Bryant e9857d616d Migrate the blockstorage admin-guide to Cinder
This patch is part of the docs migration for Cinder.
It is more or less a drag and drop of the docs from
openstack-manuals admin-guide directory.  I needed to
change some syntax to work with Cinder's more stringent
doc build.

Note that the purpose of this patch is just to get the
documentation back to an accessible location.  Later patches
will clean up the organization and content.

Cannot find suitable emulator for x86_64

Problem

When you attempt to create a VM, the error shows the VM is in the BUILD then ERROR state.

Solution

On the KVM host, run cat /proc/cpuinfo. Make sure the vmx or svm flags are set.

Follow the instructions in the Enable KVM section in the OpenStack Configuration Reference to enable hardware virtualization support in your BIOS.
