Summary
The documentation page exclusively discusses deployment and configuration of SAP MaxDB, liveCache, and Content Server on Windows in Azure VMs. All examples, recommendations, and tooling references are for Microsoft Windows (e.g., Windows Storage Pools, Windows Storage Spaces, VSS integration, IIS), with no mention of Linux equivalents or guidance for Linux-based deployments. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or best practices provided, despite SAP MaxDB and Content Server being supported on Linux in Azure. This results in a strong Windows bias, making the documentation less useful for administrators deploying on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent sections for SAP MaxDB, liveCache, and Content Server deployments on Linux, including supported distributions, VM types, and configuration guidelines.
  • Provide Linux-specific storage configuration instructions, referencing tools like LVM, mdadm (RAID), and Linux disk caching options.
  • Include backup and restore guidance for Linux, referencing native MaxDB tools and common Linux backup utilities.
  • Discuss Linux alternatives to Windows-specific technologies (e.g., use Apache/Nginx instead of IIS, use Linux-native snapshot/backup solutions instead of VSS/Azure Backup with Windows integration).
  • Ensure that examples and recommendations are provided for both Windows and Linux, or clearly indicate when a feature is Windows-only.
  • Add links to relevant Linux documentation and SAP Notes for Linux deployments.
