Thx for the advise
 
Looking at your Specs, overall it looks good to me. Of course one may ask the question how many VM's are you running on your new cluster, and what type of storage do you plan to use (NFS, iSCSI, etc). Of course you will want to put the Corosync heartbeat network across your 10Gbit network so that your migrations and copying of VMs are much faster. The only thing I'd say is maybe add a little more RAM if you can, never hurts to have more RAM.
