Good morning, No, I'm afraid that won't work. oVirt does not pool the resources in a way that makes it possible to distribute a workload over severel hosts. IMO there are two options for you: 1. Set up the machines identicall but let them work on each their own part of your network, separated by subnets or something similiar. 2. Look into something like python-openvas that might make it possible for you to automate the distribution of the workload to several hosts.
