Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Windows VM instructions and troubleshooting steps are presented first and in greater detail, with explicit references to Windows Firewall, RDP, SAN policy, and Windows Update. Linux VM guidance is comparatively brief and lacks equivalent detail (e.g., no mention of SELinux, systemd, or Linux-specific troubleshooting). Windows-specific tools and concepts (Windows Firewall, RDP, SAN policy) are mentioned without Linux equivalents. Troubleshooting links and notes are focused on Windows scenarios, and there are no PowerShell or CLI examples for Linux. The VMware failover section disables VMware tools only for Windows VMs, with no Linux-specific notes.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux instructions with equal detail, including firewall configuration (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw), SSH troubleshooting, and SELinux/AppArmor considerations.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting links and guidance, similar to the Windows RDP troubleshooting resources.
- Mention Linux boot diagnostics and common issues (e.g., fstab, LVM, systemd services) in failover scenarios.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- Add CLI and scripting examples for Linux environments (e.g., Bash commands for network/firewall setup, systemctl usage).
- Reference Linux update/patching considerations during failover, similar to Windows Update notes.
- Clarify any differences in failover/failback processes for Linux VMs, especially regarding agent registration and post-failover steps.
