That should be the trick. Have you set up a host as a KVM host?

Sorry for the delay . sir I am very new to Opennebula, I don’t know how to set kvm host .I just followed the instructions on Opennebula4.14 quick start guide for ubuntu 14.04

You are probably referring to this guide: Quickstart: OpenNebula on Ubuntu 14.04 and KVM — OpenNebula 4.14.2 documentation
It was a nice guide, I don’t know why this has been removed in the newer versions and replaced by information scattered across several pages and focused mainly on the sunstone GUI: OpenNebula Installation — OpenNebula 5.4.15 documentation

Anyway don’t use the ancient opennebula 4.14, the latest version is 5.4, and it has interesting features.
Also why the ancient Ubuntu 14.04? Use Ubuntu 16.04. If you don’t mind using CentOS 7 I still maintain a scripted guide based on Quickstart: OpenNebula on CentOS 7 and KVM — OpenNebula 4.14.2 documentation at GitHub - marcindulak/vagrant-opennebula-tutorial-centos7: Configures OpenNebula cluster using libvirt/kvm nested virtualization in Vagrant

There is help how to verify if hardware virtualization support is enabled: KVM/Installation - Community Help Wiki

On the potential KVM host:

egrep -c ‘(vmx|svm)’ /proc/cpuinfo

If 0 it means that your CPU doesn’t support hardware virtualization.

If 1 or more it does - but you still need to make sure that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
