Summary:
The documentation mentions both Linux and Windows VMs in prerequisites and describes that Azure NetApp Files supports both SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux) protocols. However, when it comes to practical guidance, there are no concrete examples or command lines for mounting shares on either platform. The only mention of mounting is for NFS on Linux, and even then, it is vague ('using the command lines or /etc/fstab entries') without providing actual commands or step-by-step instructions. There are no examples or instructions for mapping SMB shares on Windows VMs. The order of mention generally places Windows (SMB) before Linux (NFS), and the SMB share section is described before NFS in the 'Verify preconfigured Azure VMware Solution VM share mapping' section.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit, step-by-step examples for mounting NFS shares on Linux VMs, including sample mount commands and /etc/fstab entries.
- Add equivalent, detailed instructions for mapping SMB shares on Windows VMs, such as using 'net use' or mapping via File Explorer.
- Ensure that both Linux and Windows procedures are presented with equal detail and prominence, ideally in parallel sections or side-by-side.
- Avoid always listing Windows/SMB first; consider alternating or presenting both platforms together to reinforce parity.
- Include troubleshooting tips for both Linux and Windows clients to further support cross-platform usage.
