Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific instructions and tools (such as diskpart, SAN policy, Windows Firewall, RDP, and PowerShell) are described in detail, often with step-by-step guidance, while Linux instructions are more generic and less detailed. Windows examples and configuration steps are presented first and in greater depth, with Linux steps following and often lacking equivalent command-line examples or troubleshooting guidance. There is a reliance on Windows-centric tools and patterns, and Linux instructions are sometimes limited to 'check SSH' or 'update fstab', without concrete examples.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux command-line examples for all steps where Windows commands are given (e.g., show how to update fstab, rebuild init image, configure firewall rules for SSH, and enable serial console logging with specific commands).
- Include troubleshooting steps and links for Linux VMs equivalent to those given for Windows (e.g., boot diagnostics, serial console, agent installation).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence, or alternate between them.
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., iptables, firewalld, systemctl) where Windows tools (e.g., Windows Firewall, PowerShell) are mentioned.
- Add explicit instructions for preparing Linux VMs for migration, including handling updates, persistent network configuration, and agent installation, with concrete shell commands.
- Ensure that all configuration and connectivity steps for Linux are as detailed as those for Windows, including post-migration checks and troubleshooting.
