Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows tools like Robocopy are referenced as migration alternatives, and the agent deployment instructions mention Hyper-V and VMware (both common in Windows environments) without explicit Linux VM guidance. There are no Linux-specific migration examples, and the mention of Azure PowerShell precedes Azure CLI, which is more cross-platform. While the page states that SMB sources can be Windows, Linux, or NAS, practical steps and examples are not provided for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux migration examples, such as how to mount SMB shares on Linux and register the agent from a Linux VM.
- Include instructions for deploying the Storage Mover agent on popular Linux hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox) and cloud VMs.
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, smbclient) as alternatives or for verification, where appropriate.
- Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside Azure PowerShell, emphasizing CLI's cross-platform nature.
- Clarify any OS-specific requirements or differences in agent installation and operation.
