I'm fairly new to Hyper-V, i've been using vmware EXSi earlier but want to
switch to Hyper-V.

My question is regarding resource usage. Is it possible to for example have
2 hosts and load balance the load.

i.e HOST A and HOST B

One of the machine in HOST A is consuming a lot of CPU, can HOST A then
utilize the CPU of HOST B?

Virtual machine workload would have to be distributed between the two hosts.

thanks for your reply.

is that possible to do? my problem is that the OS/application im using can't
be load balanced. For example the VM1 in HOST A cant work together with VM2
in HOST B. I need VM1 in HOST A to take resources from HOST B also.

I'm not aware of the ability in either VMWare or Hyper-v to share different
physical host resources using one Virtual Machine.

What you're describing is a distributed computing model. So, you might be
able to modify your application to use that architecture independant and
outside of the virtualization mechanisims.
