Dear Lukas, Thank you very much for your reply. I am yet to try tour solution, meanwhile one more help needed. Is there support for partitioning a disk using avocado APIs, I see there are ways to format, however I want to partition too.

I sent a prototype with a custom barrier code here https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/pull/1019/commits/b5b2d39574db1a00930a185db769bbdc316d2750#diff-48b1c4588345cfb053381017743f86feR33 some time ago, but it was considered ugly and we are waiting on a clear RFC to support multi-host tests directly in Avocado. Card about that is in https://trello.com/c/AnoH6vhP/530-rfc-multiple-machine-support-for-tests (in progress for some time) There are tcp-based sync primitives in python standard libraries, unfortunately the classic barrier is (IIRC) only supported in python3. Anyway you can find some backports to python2 as well. Hopefully this helped a bit, regards, Lukáš PS: The reason the multi-host RFC is taking so long is that people can use custom sync primitives for basic synchronization so we want to deliver real multi-host tests with a single result for all targets.
