Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) are mentioned as an alternative to OVA deployment, but no equivalent Linux-based setup is described. Windows requirements (such as PowerShell version, Windows authentication, and SQL Server discovery) are detailed, while Linux instructions are less comprehensive and lack parity in example depth. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., file paths, credential setup) are referenced before or instead of Linux equivalents, and there are no Linux command-line examples or troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide a Linux-based alternative for appliance setup, such as a bash script or instructions for deploying on a Linux VM, with step-by-step examples.
  • Include Linux command-line examples for credential setup, troubleshooting, and verification, similar to the PowerShell instructions for Windows.
  • Clarify Linux-specific requirements and supported authentication mechanisms with equal detail as Windows (e.g., supported distributions, SSH configuration, SELinux/AppArmor considerations).
  • Add troubleshooting steps and common issues for Linux environments, including log file locations and permissions.
  • Ensure that Linux tools and patterns are mentioned alongside Windows equivalents, not only as secondary options.
  • Review and update screenshots and UI instructions to show Linux server scenarios where applicable.
