Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows Server is the default OS for the replication appliance, with explicit instructions for Windows installation and configuration. PowerShell is mentioned as the manual setup method for the appliance, with no Linux alternative. Steps for push installation of the Mobility service provide detailed Windows registry instructions, while Linux instructions are minimal. The Azure VM agent installation is automated for Windows but only recommended manually for Linux. Troubleshooting and post-migration steps reference Windows activation and tools, with limited Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for setting up the replication appliance on Linux-based VMs, including supported distributions and configuration steps.
- Offer Linux shell script alternatives alongside PowerShell for manual appliance setup.
- Expand the Linux section in Mobility service installation to include common troubleshooting, permissions, and automation methods (e.g., using SSH keys, sudoers configuration).
- Include Linux-specific post-migration steps, such as handling cloud-init, updating fstab, and verifying bootloader compatibility.
- Reference the Azure VM agent for Linux with installation and verification steps, not just a recommendation.
- Add troubleshooting guidance for common Linux migration issues (e.g., kernel drivers, network configuration, SSH access).
- Ensure parity in examples and screenshots for both Windows and Linux VMs throughout the migration process.
