Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows VM instructions are listed before Linux in connection steps, with more detailed guidance and troubleshooting for Windows (e.g., RDP, Windows Firewall, SAN policy, Windows Update). Windows-specific tools and concepts (RDP, Windows Firewall, SAN policy, Windows Update) are mentioned, while Linux instructions are brief and lack parity (e.g., no mention of SSH troubleshooting, Linux firewall specifics, or SAN policy equivalents). There are references to Windows Server versions and behaviors, but no similar detail for Linux distributions. VMware failover notes mention disabling VMware tools for Windows VMs, but do not provide Linux-specific details.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux instructions with equal detail, including SSH troubleshooting, Linux firewall configuration (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw), and SAN policy or disk handling equivalents.
- List Linux and Windows steps side-by-side or in parallel, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Include guidance for common Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS) and their specific behaviors during failover/failback.
- Mention Linux-specific update considerations (e.g., pending package updates, systemd services) similar to Windows Update advice.
- Add troubleshooting links and resources for Linux remote access and failover issues, matching those provided for Windows.
- Clarify any differences in failover/failback processing for Linux VMs, such as boot diagnostics, agent registration, and recovery point handling.
