Summary
The documentation for Data Dynamics StorageX migration to Azure demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The deployment and installation steps are written with the assumption of a Windows Server environment, including references to Active Directory, Windows file paths (C:\ProgramData\...), and instructions to 'Run as administrator' on the desktop. The only network port checking tool mentioned is Microsoft's portqryui, which is Windows-only. There are no Linux/macOS-specific installation instructions, nor examples for deploying StorageX on non-Windows platforms, even though StorageX supports NFS migrations (common in Linux environments). The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of installation, service account creation, or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions or references for deploying StorageX on Linux servers, if supported.
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for network port checking (e.g., using netcat, nmap, or telnet).
- Provide examples for service account creation and privilege assignment on Linux/NFS environments.
- Clarify whether StorageX server must be Windows-based, or if Linux deployments are supported, and document accordingly.
- If StorageX is Windows-only, state this clearly at the beginning to set expectations for Linux/macOS users.
