Provided all your sockets no the VM host are licensed.

Live migration using a GPFS file-system on the hypervisor node should work
(subject to the usual caveats of live migration).

Whether live migration and your VM instances would still be able to NFS
mount (assuming loopback address?) if they moved to a different
hypervisor, pass, you might get weird NFS locks. And if they are still
mounting from the original VM host, then you are not doing what the FAQ
says you can do.
