Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The replication appliance required for migration must be hosted on a Windows Server (2012 R2 or 2016), with no mention of Linux alternatives. Instructions for downloading and installing the appliance are exclusively for Windows, and screenshots and step-by-step guidance assume a Windows environment. While Linux VM preparation and Mobility agent installation are covered, the core migration infrastructure is Windows-centric, and Linux users are left without parity for the replication appliance setup.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions and support for deploying the replication appliance on Linux-based VMs, or clarify if this is not possible and explain the rationale.
- Include Linux-based examples and screenshots for appliance setup and management, not just for agent installation.
- Explicitly state Windows-only requirements early in the documentation, and offer alternative workflows or guidance for Linux-centric environments.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and post-migration steps, including Linux-specific issues and solutions.
- If Windows-only tooling is unavoidable, recommend best practices for integrating Linux systems into the migration workflow and minimizing disruption.
