Summary:
The documentation generally provides parity between Windows and Linux in most configuration tables and recommendations. However, there are several areas where a Windows bias is evident: Windows-specific tools and settings (e.g., Storage Spaces, NTFS, Windows Firewall) are mentioned first or exclusively, and some operational details (such as firewall configuration) are given only for Windows. The 'Specifics to SAP ASE on Windows' section is more detailed than its Linux counterpart, and some Linux-specific operational examples (e.g., firewall rules) are missing. In some cases, Windows terminology and tools are referenced before Linux equivalents, and certain recommendations (like 'Lock Pages in Memory') are only described for Windows.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that operational instructions (such as firewall configuration) are provided for both Linux (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw) and Windows, not just Windows.
- When describing disk aggregation and file systems, present Linux and Windows options in parallel, or alternate which OS is mentioned first.
- Provide Linux-specific tuning and troubleshooting examples with the same level of detail as Windows (e.g., explain how to set up 'Lock Pages in Memory' or its Linux equivalent, if applicable).
- Include Linux command-line examples for tasks where only Windows or PowerShell instructions are given.
- Balance the depth of 'Specifics' sections for both OSes, ensuring Linux operational nuances are equally covered.
- Review all tables and recommendations to ensure Linux is not consistently listed after Windows, and consider alternating or grouping by scenario rather than OS.
