Document Details

The documentation provides coverage for both Windows and Linux deployments of IBM Db2 for SAP workloads on Azure VMs, but several sections display Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., Storage Pools, PowerShell cmdlets) are mentioned with detailed instructions, while Linux equivalents (LVM, mdadm) are referenced but not explained in equal detail. Windows terminology and features (e.g., NTFS, Storage Pools, VSS) are often introduced before or with more emphasis than Linux alternatives. Some configuration steps (such as creating storage pools) include explicit PowerShell examples for Windows but lack corresponding Linux command examples. In backup/restore, Windows limitations are discussed, but Linux-specific considerations are less detailed. Linux deployment specifics are relegated to a later section, and some recommendations (e.g., Accelerated Networking) mention Windows first.
