Brian We do that here at NPS without much trouble - anymore ;)
One thing to watch: if you are using opensm for your subnet manager and the latest kernels for lustre (1.8.4/5 or 2.0) you need a newer opensm than is on the CentOS 5.5 disks. Get the one from the updates. It seems there was a change in the ibsrp kernel module that made it incompatible with opensm on the same disk.

Apart from the obvious issue of separating the IB SAN(SRP/SER) storage traffic from the Lustre traffic are there any issues?
