Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server running on Windows, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments or migration scenarios. All tested configurations, prerequisites, and validation steps assume a Windows environment. Tools and management patterns (e.g., SQL Server Management Studio, Windows Server Failover Clustering) are Windows-centric, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server instances.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit mention of whether Linux-based SQL Server instances are supported for migration using VMware HCX, and if so, provide guidance or caveats.
- Add tested configuration examples for SQL Server on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat) and clarify any differences in the migration process.
- Provide Linux-specific instructions for verifying SQL Server and database accessibility post-migration (e.g., using sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio on Linux).
- Reference Linux-based SQL Server documentation and best practices in the 'More information' section.
- If Linux is not supported, clearly state this limitation early in the documentation to set user expectations.
