I don't know if you intend to use SLES11 SP1(2?) with xCAT, but I will say it's been a while since it was explicitly tested. RHEL6 series is currently the best tested hypervisor. If SLES keeps libvirt and perl-Sys-Virt current (maybe requiring SP2), *shouldn't* be an issue, but I haven't done it for sure lately.
I have been intending to move from the socat/nc burdened qemu+ssh uris to the more apathetic qemu+tls uris as the primary mechanism, and have laid the groundwork to do so in 2.7, just haven't taken advantage. This is of little practical concern to most users as xCAT currently hides away the mess, but it does slow down 'unreachable' returns somewhat.
GPFS AFAIK should be fine. We've been a bit NAS and local storage heavy in our virtualization testing, and we probably should construct a SAN topology with GPFS for completeness.

It should work just fine. It is on my list of things to test.
