Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions, tools, and examples are presented before or in more detail than their Linux equivalents. Key setup steps for the replication appliance are described using Windows Server 2016 as the default OS, with PowerShell mentioned for manual setup, but no Linux-based appliance setup is described. Registry edits for Windows are explained, while Linux instructions are limited to 'prepare a root account.' The Azure VM agent installation is automated for Windows but only recommended for Linux, with no details. Troubleshooting and post-migration steps reference Windows activation issues and Windows agent documentation, with Linux guidance being minimal or absent.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions for setting up the replication appliance on a Linux-based VM, or clarify if this is unsupported.
  • Include Linux-specific examples for Mobility service installation, such as using SSH, sudo, or package managers.
  • Offer parity in troubleshooting guidance for Linux VMs post-migration (e.g., boot issues, agent installation, activation).
  • Document how to manually install the Azure VM agent on Linux, with links to relevant guides.
  • Balance the order of presentation so Linux and Windows instructions appear together, or alternate which is shown first.
  • Clarify any limitations or differences for Linux VMs throughout the migration process.
