Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and utilities (e.g., SetupDiag, registry policies) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents; PowerShell is the only scripting method described for appliance setup, with no Linux shell or automation alternatives; examples and screenshots reference Windows Server as the default environment for the replication appliance; and troubleshooting and upgrade steps focus on Windows OS, with limited or no Linux-specific guidance. Linux is referenced in credential requirements and some OS support statements, but practical instructions, examples, and troubleshooting for Linux environments are largely missing.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) instructions for appliance setup and agent installation, alongside PowerShell.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, especially for agent installation, connectivity, and migration failures.
- Add examples and screenshots showing the process on Linux-based replication appliances, not just Windows Server.
- Mention and link to Linux migration limitations, known issues, and post-migration best practices (e.g., SELinux, systemd, kernel compatibility).
- Balance references to Windows tools/utilities (e.g., SetupDiag, registry policies) with Linux equivalents (e.g., log files, systemctl, dmesg).
- Ensure upgrade and activation steps include Linux OS upgrade paths and validation, not just Windows Server.
