Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server Failover Clustering and SQL Server on Windows, with all examples, screenshots, and tools (such as Failover Cluster Manager and SQL Server Management Studio) being Windows-specific. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server clusters, Linux failover solutions (e.g., Pacemaker), or cross-platform migration considerations. The prerequisites, migration steps, and troubleshooting are all tailored for Windows environments, and Linux alternatives are neither referenced nor suggested.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or parallel guide for migrating SQL Server clusters running on Linux (e.g., using Pacemaker or Linux clustering tools).
- Include Linux-based examples, such as using command-line tools (e.g., systemctl, pcs) and SQL Server tools available on Linux.
- Reference Linux documentation for SQL Server clustering and migration in the 'More information' section.
- Clarify in the introduction that the guide is specific to Windows clusters, and provide links to Linux migration resources if available.
- Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'Failover Cluster Manager or equivalent tool') and describe steps for both platforms.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting and validation steps for Linux-based SQL Server clusters.
