+z/VM System Requirements
+------------------------
+
+* A supported version of z/VM 6.4.
+
+* In order to use live migration, the z/VM system must be configured in a Single System Image (SSI)
+  configuration, and must have been created using the IBM-provided installation instructions for SSI
+  configurations.
+
+* The appropriate APARs installed, the current list of which can be found at z/VM xCAT Maintenance
+  (http://www.vm.ibm.com/sysman/xcmntlvl.html) and z/VM OpenStack Cloud Information
+  (http://www.vm.ibm.com/sysman/osmntlvl.html).
+
+.. note::
+
+  IBM z Systems hardware requirements are based on both the applications and the load on the
+  system. Please consult your IBM Sales Representative or Business Partner for assistance in determining
+  the specific hardware requirements for your environment.
