Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., registry keys, MMC snap-in, Windows folder paths) for managing and optimizing agent-based migration. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or equivalent tooling mentioned for Linux servers, despite the fact that agent-based migration supports both Windows and Linux workloads. Windows terminology and procedures are presented first and exclusively, leaving Linux users without guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions and examples for installing and managing the Mobility service on Linux servers, including command-line installation steps and relevant file paths.
  • Document Linux-specific configuration options for throttling bandwidth, such as using tc, iptables, or other Linux-native tools, rather than only referencing Windows registry and MMC snap-in.
  • List antivirus exclusion paths for Linux (e.g., /var/lib/ASR, /opt/Microsoft/AzureRecoveryServiceAgent) alongside the Windows paths.
  • Clarify which steps or tools are Windows-only and offer Linux equivalents where possible.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are presented in a platform-neutral way, or provide parallel guidance for both Windows and Linux environments.
