Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server Failover Clustering and SQL Server on Windows, with all examples, screenshots, and instructions referencing Windows Server tools (e.g., Failover Cluster Manager, SQL Server Management Studio). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server clusters, Linux failover clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker), or migration steps for non-Windows environments. The prerequisites, migration steps, and troubleshooting are all tailored exclusively to Windows Server environments.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or parallel guide for migrating SQL Server clusters running on Linux (e.g., using Pacemaker/Corosync or Linux-based Always On Availability Groups).
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, such as reviewing and recording Linux network/storage configuration, and backing up using Linux-native tools.
- Provide migration steps and screenshots for Linux-based clusters, including relevant commands and tools (e.g., systemctl, pcs, SQL Server on Linux management tools).
- Reference Linux documentation for SQL Server clustering and failover, and link to official Microsoft and VMware resources for Linux environments.
- Clarify in the introduction that the current guide is Windows-specific, and direct Linux users to appropriate resources if a Linux parity guide is not yet available.
