I had a similar issue on my rhel6.1 host, I had to enable
virtualization in the system bios.

Hi All,
I'm trying to install a VM on host OS (Redhat 6.1, KVM
hypervisor).
I've installed all the required RPMs for KVM and libvirt tools.
Here is the list of libvirt RPMs and KVM modules
kvm.ko
kvm-intel.ko
libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-java-devel-0.4.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
virt-top-1.0.4-3.8.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-client-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-python-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
virt-viewer-0.2.1-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-devel-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64.rpm
python-virtinst-0.500.5-3.el6.noarch.rpm
virt-what-1.3-4.4.el6.x86_64.rpm
libvirt-java-0.4.7-1.el6.noarch.rpm
virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch.rpm
qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64.rpm qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64.rpm
When I execute virt-install command I see the below error:
[root@nsn
/]# virt-install
ERROR
Host does not support any virtualization options
I've already cross checked the
VMX setting in BIOS and it is enabled.
In VMX Feature MSR register , VT bit is set.
Following is some info about the platform:

has anyone encountered similar issues while using libvirt tools?
am I missing something w.r.t installation?
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
