Are you actually thinking of XCP here when you say don't have any disks in the servers? I don't think that is an option, as it uses local disk when bringing up a VM, I believe this is the default behavior. Then there is his question about Infiniband. ipoib may be supported in XCP, but plain Infiniband is not. I imagine a person could fiddle around and get it working, but it wouldn't be stable enough from what I have seen.
