Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing examples and walkthroughs exclusively for Windows VMs, particularly focusing on SQL Server and paging file scenarios. All disk exclusion, failover, and recovery steps use Windows-specific tools (diskmgmt.msc, service console, drive letters like C:\, D:\, etc.), and there are no Linux VM examples or instructions. Windows terminology and screenshots are used throughout, and Linux-specific disk management or failover considerations are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples for Linux VMs, such as excluding disks containing swap partitions or temp directories (e.g., /swap, /tmp).
- Include instructions for disk management and failover on Linux, using Linux tools (e.g., lsblk, parted, mount) and Linux file system paths.
- Provide SQL Server on Linux scenarios, or examples for other common Linux workloads (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and how to handle excluded disks during failover.
- Mention differences in drive letter assignment and disk mounting between Windows and Linux, and clarify how Azure assigns device names (e.g., /dev/sdX) for Linux VMs after failover.
- Add screenshots or CLI examples for Linux disk management and service control (e.g., systemctl for database services).
