Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All operational examples, file paths, and tool references assume a Windows environment (e.g., use of PsExec, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, C:\Program Files paths, and SSMS). There are no examples or guidance for restoring SQL Server on Linux-based Azure VMs, nor are Linux file paths, permissions, or tools mentioned. Instructions for mounting Azure File Shares and managing permissions are Windows-specific. The documentation presumes the use of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is primarily a Windows tool, and does not mention cross-platform alternatives or command-line options suitable for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for restoring SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs, including Linux file paths and permission management.
- Include guidance for mounting Azure File Shares on Linux (e.g., using cifs-utils) and setting appropriate permissions for the SQL Server process on Linux.
- Offer T-SQL restore examples that are platform-agnostic and clarify any differences in file system paths or prerequisites between Windows and Linux.
- Mention and provide examples for using cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI, sqlcmd, or Azure Data Studio) for restore operations, not just SSMS.
- Explicitly state any limitations or differences in restore procedures between Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments.
- When referencing tools like PsExec or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, provide Linux equivalents (such as sudo or service accounts) or clarify that these steps are Windows-specific.
