Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as RDP and Windows Firewall) are described in greater detail and appear before Linux equivalents. The replication appliance is described as being set up with Windows Server 2016 by default, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives. Instructions for post-migration connectivity provide more detailed steps for Windows (RDP, firewall settings) than for Linux (SSH), and there are no Linux command examples or references to Linux-specific migration tooling. Some features (Multipath IO) are noted as supported only for Windows servers, while Linux support is not discussed.
Recommendations
  • Provide equal detail and step-by-step instructions for Linux post-migration connectivity, including example SSH configuration commands and firewall settings (e.g., using iptables, firewalld, or ufw).
  • Mention or provide guidance for setting up the replication appliance on Linux-based systems, if supported, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and migration considerations, such as SELinux/AppArmor, systemd service management, and common Linux disk/filesystem issues.
  • List Linux tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, rsync, cron jobs, system logs) alongside Windows tools, and avoid presenting Windows tools first unless there is a technical reason.
  • If features are supported only on Windows (e.g., Multipath IO), explicitly state Linux support status and provide alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
