Summary
The documentation page does not provide explicit examples or instructions for either Windows or Linux platforms, but there is a subtle bias towards Windows environments. The only protocol recommended for data transfer is SMB 3.0, which is natively a Windows protocol (though available on Linux via Samba). The secure erase tools mentioned (ARCCONF, MSECLI) are typically associated with Windows environments, with no mention of Linux alternatives or usage instructions for Linux users. There are no Linux-specific examples, nor is there guidance for Linux-based data transfer or management.
Recommendations
- Include explicit examples for both Windows and Linux environments when describing data transfer to/from the Data Box device, such as using robocopy (Windows) and rsync or smbclient (Linux).
- Mention and provide instructions for using SMB 3.0 from Linux systems (e.g., via Samba), including any required configuration steps.
- List secure erase tools available on Linux, or provide instructions for running ARCCONF/MSECLI on Linux if supported.
- Add a section or callout clarifying cross-platform support and any platform-specific limitations or requirements.
- Ensure that any references to device credentials, certificates, or encryption keys include Linux command-line or GUI instructions alongside Windows/PowerShell equivalents.
