Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and configurations (e.g., Windows Failover Cluster, Scale-Out File Services, SIOS Datakeeper, SMB shares) are frequently mentioned first and described in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. Windows-specific recommendations (such as SQL Server Always On) are presented as defaults, while Linux alternatives (Pacemaker, DRBD, GlusterFS) are sometimes listed later or with less explanation. Some examples and configuration details are missing for Linux, especially for Oracle Linux, and PowerShell/Windows-centric terminology is prevalent throughout the document.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux-based solutions (Pacemaker, DRBD, GlusterFS, NFS) are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows solutions.
- Provide Linux-first or parallel examples for all major configuration scenarios, especially for high availability and disaster recovery.
- Include explicit configuration steps, diagrams, and links for Linux (Red Hat, SUSE, Oracle Linux) wherever Windows instructions are given.
- Avoid presenting Windows recommendations as defaults; instead, offer OS-agnostic guidance or clearly indicate parity.
- Expand coverage for Oracle Linux and other supported Linux distributions, including third-party HA frameworks where applicable.
- Balance the use of Windows-specific terminology (e.g., Failover Cluster, SMB, PowerShell) with Linux equivalents (e.g., Pacemaker, NFS, shell commands).
