Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Windows registry keys, SetupDiag, Windows Server 2016) are mentioned first or exclusively in appliance setup and troubleshooting. PowerShell is the only CLI method described for physical server appliance setup, with no Linux shell equivalent. Registry and group policy checks are Windows-specific, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows activation and upgrade utilities. Linux is referenced only in credential requirements and in passing, with no explicit Linux-based setup or migration examples provided.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux-based instructions for deploying and configuring the replication appliance, including shell script or manual steps for common Linux distributions.
- Include Linux CLI examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) alongside PowerShell for appliance installation and agent deployment.
- Document Linux-specific prerequisites, troubleshooting steps, and post-migration checks (e.g., SELinux, systemd, networking, activation issues).
- Balance screenshots and walkthroughs to show both Windows and Linux server scenarios.
- Reference Linux tools/utilities where appropriate (e.g., system logs, package managers, OS upgrade tools) and clarify differences in agent installation and management.
- Ensure parity in migration and upgrade guidance for Linux VMs, not just Windows Server (e.g., mention supported distributions, kernel requirements, upgrade paths).
