IOmeter is broken into two pieces, dynamo which is the workload generator and IOmeter which is a GUI to control dynamo. You can run instances of dynamo on multiple machines and have them all controlled by one IOmeter GUI instance.
If you would like to run IOmeter from multiple machines against one target:
1) Make sure you have the target drive mapped on all of the source machines2) Open up command prompt and change to the IOmeter directory
3) Execute the following command to start dynamo and have it log on to a remote IOmeter server
c:\Program Files (x86)\Iometer.org\Iometer 2006.07.27>dynamo -i 10.0.101.51 -m 10.0.102.185
In this example 10.0.101.51 is the remote IOmeter server that will control the test and 10.0.102.185 is the local machine
4) You should now see a new manager listed on the IOmeter server
In this picture, LAB-NEXENTA-CL is a remote dynamo session being controlled by an IOmeter running on my desktop
