Using cockpit if you have used Virt-Manager (Virtual Machine Manager) is very easy just install it such:
sudo apt-get install cockpit cockpit-machines
Start it up:
sudo systemctl start cockpit
Access http://127.0.0.1:9090/ to login with the local account you already use. You can also choose 'connect to' to connect to a remote instance. Normally you would start with your main host and then add additional when logged in.
For example when logging in you can click the dropdown in the top left with the name of the account you are logged in as and choose: add new host. You enter any other hosts you want to add so you can switch between them.
The rest should be pretty basic. Assuming you have the VM's stored on a SAN or NAS unit (ie shared storage) you can migrate machines between hosts and see whats running what. Its not as super full featured as enterprise systems yet but works fine and will improve over time. There is a plugin called ovirt which does not yet work for debian afaik which makes it more enterprise but you can use it on RHEL. You may find that cockpit is simple enough for you.
