Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes upgrading the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent in a Windows environment. All instructions, screenshots, and tool references (e.g., Remote Desktop, DPM Console) are Windows-specific. There are no examples, instructions, or even mentions of Linux systems or command-line alternatives. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tools and patterns throughout.
Recommendations:
- Clarify early in the documentation that the MARS agent is only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments.
- If the agent is Windows-only, explicitly state this in the introduction to avoid confusion for Linux administrators.
- If cross-platform support is planned or available, include Linux installation and upgrade instructions, using Linux-native tools (e.g., SSH, shell commands) and screenshots.
- Where possible, provide PowerShell and command-line alternatives to GUI steps, which can help both Windows Server Core and potential cross-platform scenarios.
- Add a section addressing common questions about non-Windows environments, clarifying support boundaries.
