Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas. The replication appliance required for migration must run on Windows Server (2012 R2 or 2016), with no mention of Linux support for this critical component. Instructions for downloading and installing the replication appliance exclusively reference Windows, and screenshots show Windows environments. Troubleshooting sections and migration steps often mention Windows-specific tools and issues (e.g., WinRM, Windows activation), with Linux guidance provided only for specific configuration changes (e.g., SSH settings). Linux examples are present for agent installation, but overall, Windows tools and patterns are prioritized and Linux parity is lacking, especially for the replication appliance setup.
Recommendations
- Provide clear guidance or alternatives for deploying the replication appliance on Linux, or explicitly state its lack of support and suggest workarounds for Linux-only environments.
- Ensure that all major steps (e.g., appliance setup, agent installation, troubleshooting) include Linux-specific instructions and examples where applicable.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux instructions are given equal prominence to Windows instructions, rather than listing Windows steps first.
- Include troubleshooting steps and post-migration guidance for common Linux issues (e.g., SELinux, systemd, networking) alongside Windows-specific advice.
- Add screenshots and command-line examples from Linux environments to match those provided for Windows.
