in theory it's not (or should not be) something strictly related to Xen 
(the use you're going to have of your cluster)
I've managed anyway more than one cluster built with RHEL (4) and GFS 
... generally for mail purposes
we were using optical fibers and not ethernet to reach the storage, but 
it went good
gfs requires attention and a good tuning, the locker we were using were 
suffering some little problems when the delay in completing the 
operation was too high but there were already the fixes on the redhat's 
repository and anyway it was the old GFS not the version 2
I would be careful anyway in having a mixed environment (w2k3/rhel) for 
a so specific task, especially in a so critical point of the system (the 
storage)
