Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Hyper-V. All instructions, screenshots, and tooling references are for Windows only, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. PowerShell cmdlets are used for network configuration, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM, QEMU, or VMware on Linux), nor for Linux command-line equivalents. The documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows ecosystem from start to finish.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for provisioning Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, QEMU, VMware Workstation/Fusion on Linux).
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, such as required hardware resources and supported distributions.
- Provide command-line examples for Linux (e.g., using virsh, qemu-img, or other relevant tools) for creating and configuring virtual machines and disks.
- Offer guidance for network configuration on Linux, including how to set static IPs using common Linux tools (e.g., ip, nmcli, netplan).
- Clarify whether the Data Box Gateway VHDX image can be used on non-Hyper-V platforms and, if so, provide conversion steps (e.g., using qemu-img to convert VHDX to other formats).
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and diagnostic steps for Linux environments.
