Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell scripts, SetupDiag) are referenced as the primary or only method for appliance setup and troubleshooting; instructions and screenshots frequently assume Windows Server as the host OS for the replication appliance; registry and group policy checks are Windows-centric; and upgrade/test migration steps focus on Windows Server OS upgrades, with no equivalent Linux upgrade guidance. Linux is mentioned as supported, but Linux-specific examples, commands, or troubleshooting steps are missing, and Windows procedures are presented first or exclusively.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux-based instructions for deploying and configuring the replication appliance, including supported Linux distributions and required packages.
- Provide Linux shell (bash) script examples for appliance setup and agent installation, alongside PowerShell examples.
- Include troubleshooting steps and checks relevant to Linux environments (e.g., systemd services, SELinux/AppArmor, firewall rules), not just Windows registry/group policy.
- Offer guidance for Linux OS upgrades during migration, similar to the Windows Server upgrade instructions.
- Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs include Linux scenarios (e.g., appliance running on Ubuntu or RHEL) as well as Windows.
- Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which require OS-specific actions, and present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side where possible.
