Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, specifically Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) on Azure. All examples, scripts, and screenshots are for Windows environments, with extensive use of PowerShell and Windows-native tools. There are no Linux equivalents, alternative approaches, or even references to Linux-based high availability solutions for SAP ASCS/SCS multi-SID scenarios. The documentation assumes a Windows-only context throughout.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or parallel documentation for configuring SAP ASCS/SCS multi-SID high availability on Linux, using Pacemaker/Corosync or other supported Linux clustering solutions.
- Provide Linux shell script examples for file share and permission setup, analogous to the PowerShell scripts shown for Windows.
- Include diagrams and screenshots for Linux-based clusters, not just Windows Failover Cluster Manager.
- Reference Linux-specific Azure resources (e.g., NFS on Azure Files, Linux VM clustering guides) where appropriate.
- Clarify in the introduction that the guide is Windows-specific, and link to Linux-focused documentation if available.
