I did not see the problem that install xCAT on VM and have OS repo on a statelite node. But you need to consider the potential performance issue of VM as a management, especially as a tftp and http server.

What's the type of the statelite server, nfs-based or ramdisk-based? For a stateless node, the packages generally will be packed into the osimage, do you want to create an osimage for xCAT management role? How do you plan the storage for the tftp, http service (/install /tftpboot)?
