I am planning to live migrate VMs. From my testing this works fine
providing cross cluster hosts can talk to each other and they share a
common migration network.

One note:
when you say:
I will slowly migrate VMs from the old cluster to the new.
what do you mean exactly with "migrate"?
If you mean Live Migraton as described here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterp
rise_Virtualization/3.5/html/Administration_Guide/sect-
Migrating_Virtual_Machines_Between_Hosts.html
please note that you can live migrate a VM only within the same cluster,
not across.
You can edit a VM of a datacenter and change the cluster where it have to
start, but you have to first shutdown the VM to do so.
Probably you already considered this and the related potential downtime
for your services.
