Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All practical examples, walkthroughs, and screenshots are based on Windows VMs, with explicit references to Windows file paths (e.g., C:\, pagefile.sys), Windows disk management tools (diskmgmt.msc), and Windows-specific SQL Server service management (Net start/stop). There are no Linux-based examples, instructions, or screenshots, even though Azure Site Recovery supports Linux VMs. Linux-specific disk exclusion scenarios, file paths, and service management are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add parallel Linux VM examples for disk exclusion, including typical Linux disk layouts (e.g., /, /var, /tmp, swap partitions).
- Demonstrate how to exclude disks containing Linux swap or temp files, with Linux-specific file paths and disk naming conventions.
- Provide Linux command-line instructions for adding and formatting disks after failover (e.g., using fdisk, mkfs, mount, systemctl for service management).
- Include screenshots or terminal output relevant to Linux environments.
- Clarify any differences in failover/failback behavior for Linux VMs, especially regarding manually created disks and service recovery.
- Reference Linux SQL Server or other common Linux workloads where appropriate.
