Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows Server as the default OS for the replication appliance, providing more detailed instructions for Windows connectivity (RDP and firewall), and mentioning Windows-specific features (BitLocker, Windows Firewall, Device-Specific Module for multipath IO) before or in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and there are no explicit Linux command examples or parity in troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux-based examples for appliance setup, including supported distributions and installation steps.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting and connectivity instructions (e.g., SELinux, iptables, systemd service management for SSH).
- Offer parity in detail for Linux features (e.g., encrypted disks, multipath IO, firewall configuration) and clarify support for common Linux tools.
- List Linux requirements and steps before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid 'Windows first' ordering.
- Add examples for connecting to migrated Linux VMs using SSH, including command-line steps and security group configuration.
- Clarify support for Linux disk encryption (e.g., LUKS) and provide guidance for migration scenarios involving encrypted Linux volumes.
