Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several ways: Windows Server is the only supported OS for the replication appliance, with no mention of a Linux alternative; Windows-specific tools and ports (WinRM, WMI) are referenced before Linux equivalents; and some procedures (such as appliance setup) are described only for Windows, with Linux options missing or relegated to secondary status. While Linux VM migration is supported, the documentation does not provide parity in examples, guidance, or tooling for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and support for deploying the replication appliance on Linux, if possible, or clarify its absence and suggest alternatives.
- Include Linux-first examples and procedures alongside Windows ones, such as using SSH and Linux-native tools for discovery and migration steps.
- List Linux prerequisites and configuration steps before or alongside Windows steps, rather than after.
- Offer troubleshooting guidance specific to Linux VMs, not just Windows (e.g., SSH errors, SELinux, firewall settings).
- If Windows-only tooling is required, clearly state this limitation and provide rationale, as well as alternative migration paths for Linux users.
- Ensure that all screenshots, command-line examples, and step-by-step instructions are available for both Windows and Linux environments.
