Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific requirements, tools, and instructions. Windows Server is the default OS for the replication appliance, and connection instructions for migrated VMs provide more detail for Windows (RDP, Windows Firewall) than for Linux (SSH). Multipath IO support is explicitly listed for Windows servers, while Linux equivalents are not mentioned. There are no Linux-specific tooling or step-by-step examples, and Windows terminology (e.g., BitLocker, Windows Firewall) is used without Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Provide equal detail for Linux migration scenarios, including step-by-step instructions for configuring SSH, firewall rules (e.g., using iptables, firewalld, or ufw), and post-migration connectivity.
- List Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., SELinux, LUKS encryption, multipath IO for Linux) alongside Windows equivalents.
- Offer replication appliance setup instructions for Linux-based appliances, or clarify if only Windows Server is supported and why.
- Include examples of troubleshooting and configuration for both Windows and Linux environments.
- Review terminology to ensure Linux concepts (e.g., systemd, Linux firewalls, disk encryption) are mentioned where relevant.
