[ovirt-users] Re: cluster 4 pc's for more scanning power?

Hello Peter, if you install it on one VM it will only run on one of the hosts however if you had a distributed scanner it could run on multiple hosts. I think there was some work with a distibuted scanner in docker (don't know if there is openshift or kubernetes) but it may be better to run it in a docker or kubernetes cluster rather than oVirt.

Hello and sorry for the ignorance behind this question. I've been reading about various scale out, "hyper convergence" solutions and want to ask this about oVirt. I do vulnerability scanning on my company's assets. I do it from an obsolete laptop that was given to me. The load goes over 13 sometimes, and the scans take a long time. If I built an oVirt cluster from 4 or 5 desktop pc's, build VM to run OpenVAS, would the cpu load demanded by the scanning be spread accross the 3-4 hosts, not inlcuding the management host, and therby give my scans more CPU power? If not oVirt, is there another project that would be better suited to what I'm trying to achieve? Qualifiers: -I'm not asking if this is the best way to get high-load scanning done. I'm just asking if I'll get the combined power from the cpu cores of all the host machines. The scanning jobs thread already. -I know it would probably be more efficient to get a powerful multi core workstation or server to do this. That is not my question. -The pc's are perfectly good, they are just not being used and won't be used for anything else.
