Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Program Files, C:\ProgramData), Windows-specific folder structures, and command-line tools (cmd, net stop/start). There are no examples, troubleshooting steps, or log locations provided for Linux-based source machines or process servers, despite Azure Site Recovery supporting physical servers that may run Linux. The documentation assumes Windows environments for permissions (IUSR user), service management, and log file locations, omitting Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Add troubleshooting steps and log file locations for Linux-based source machines and process servers (e.g., /var/log/azure-site-recovery/agent/).
  • Include Linux-specific commands for service management (e.g., systemctl restart asr-agent) alongside Windows examples.
  • Document required permissions and user accounts for Linux (e.g., asr-agent user, chown/chmod commands) in addition to IUSR for Windows.
  • Clearly indicate when a step or path is Windows-specific and provide the Linux equivalent where applicable.
  • Ensure parity in examples, showing both Windows and Linux scenarios for common tasks such as checking agent status, modifying permissions, and locating logs.
