Summary:
The documentation page, while stating support for both Windows and Linux physical servers, demonstrates a Windows bias. Windows terminology (such as VSS and app-consistent snapshots) is used exclusively in technical explanations, and there are no Linux-specific examples or equivalent tooling/processes described. The documentation assumes Windows patterns (e.g., VSS for snapshots), and does not mention how app-consistent snapshots or similar features are handled on Linux. There are no Linux command-line or process examples, and Windows-centric tools and concepts are referenced without Linux parity.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly describe how app-consistent snapshots are handled for Linux servers, including any limitations or alternative mechanisms (e.g., pre/post scripts, fsfreeze, LVM snapshots).
- Provide Linux-specific examples or instructions where relevant, such as manual installation of the Mobility Service on Linux, or how to monitor replication health from a Linux perspective.
- Clarify any differences in failover/failback, snapshotting, or recovery processes between Windows and Linux servers.
- Include references to Linux tools or commands (e.g., shell commands, systemd services) where Windows tools or concepts (like VSS) are mentioned.
- Ensure that all technical explanations and tables include both Windows and Linux perspectives, or clearly state when a feature is Windows-only.
