The problem is not the quota, because in that case the users would not be
able to even create the VM.

When a VM stays in pending, it's because the scheduler can't find where to
deploy it. Admins and advanced users can see the scheduler error messages
in sunstone, under the placement VM tab. This information is not available
to cloud users, since they are not supposed to know about the underlying
infrastructure.

You will find more detailed information in /var/log/one/sched.log. If the
reason is not clear in there, paste the output and we'll try to
help deciphering it.

Regards.
