Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. All detailed examples and walkthroughs focus exclusively on Windows VMs, with no Linux VM scenarios or examples provided. Windows-specific tools and concepts (e.g., diskmgmt.msc, drive letters, pagefile.sys, SQL Server on Windows, service console, screenshots of Windows dialogs) are used throughout, and instructions assume familiarity with Windows administration. Linux equivalents, such as handling swap partitions or tempdb on Linux, are not mentioned or illustrated. Although Linux is referenced briefly in a table, it is not covered in any practical example or guidance.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for Linux VMs, including exclusion of swap disks/partitions and tempdb on SQL Server running on Linux.
- Include instructions for disk management on Linux (e.g., using lsblk, parted, or fdisk) instead of only referencing diskmgmt.msc.
- Provide guidance for managing SQL Server services and tempdb paths on Linux (e.g., using systemctl, editing configuration files).
- Replace or supplement Windows-specific screenshots with Linux equivalents (e.g., screenshots of GNOME Disks, CLI output).
- Clarify differences in failover and failback behavior for Linux VMs, including drive naming conventions and disk mounting.
- Ensure that all steps and recommendations are applicable to both Windows and Linux environments, or clearly indicate when instructions are OS-specific.
