Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, especially in the initial release notes, where the Storage Mover agent appliance VM is stated as only tested and supported as a Windows Hyper-V VM. There is no mention of Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM or native Linux VMs) in the early releases, and no Linux-specific instructions or examples are provided. Windows tools and patterns (such as Hyper-V and administrative shell) are referenced without Linux equivalents. Later, VMware ESXi support is mentioned, but Linux-native deployment scenarios and examples remain absent.
Recommendations
- Explicitly document support for Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, native Linux VMs) if available, or clarify roadmap for such support.
- Provide Linux-specific deployment and management instructions, including shell/CLI commands for agent installation, registration, and log retrieval.
- Ensure that examples and troubleshooting steps include both Windows and Linux environments, or clearly state platform limitations.
- Reference Linux-native tools (e.g., bash, systemd, journalctl) alongside Windows tools where applicable.
- If the agent is cross-platform, add parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux users, including screenshots or shell output where relevant.
