Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. The replication appliance required for migration must run on Windows Server (2012 R2 or 2016), with no mention of Linux support for this critical component. Windows-specific tools and ports (WinRM, WMI) are referenced before Linux equivalents, and screenshots and step-by-step instructions focus on Windows environments. While Linux instructions are present for VM preparation and agent installation, the overall workflow and tooling are centered around Windows, with Linux support appearing as an add-on rather than a first-class citizen.
Recommendations
- Provide parity for Linux by supporting the replication appliance on Linux distributions, or clearly document any limitations and alternatives for Linux users.
- Include Linux-first examples and instructions where possible, such as using SSH and Linux-native tools for discovery and migration steps.
- Balance the order of instructions and examples so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., mention Linux and Windows prerequisites together, not Windows first).
- Add screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux environments, not just Windows.
- Explicitly state any limitations or differences in the migration process for Linux VMs, and offer workarounds or alternative workflows.
- Ensure troubleshooting and FAQ sections address Linux-specific issues as thoroughly as Windows ones.
