How to span the kafka partitions across multiple VM's?

I am familiar with basic kafka system. I want to span a single kafka instance across 2 VM's such that some partitions are in one VM and some more in another VM. Please tell me how to configure this kind of system.

What do you mean by "to span kafka instance across 2 VMs" ? What you can due is having two different Kafka instances running on the 2 VMs. They should be configured in order to connect to the same Zookeeper cluster. When you create a new topic with a specific number of partitions, Kafka will span such partitions over the 2 VMs.
