Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows Server and PowerShell are referenced as defaults or primary examples, especially for the replication appliance setup and credential policies. Windows registry and group policy checks are detailed, while equivalent Linux checks are not. The process for installing the Mobility agent on Linux is present, but less detailed compared to Windows, and Windows tools (e.g., SetupDiag, registry, group policy) are mentioned without Linux equivalents. Some steps (e.g., OVA template setup) implicitly assume a Windows environment, and Linux-specific troubleshooting or configuration is less emphasized.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples alongside Windows instructions, especially for appliance setup and agent installation.
- Include Linux equivalents for registry and group policy checks (e.g., systemd, sudoers, SELinux, firewall rules).
- Document Linux troubleshooting steps, such as log file locations, common permission issues, and required packages.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, provide Bash or shell script alternatives for Linux environments.
- Clarify when steps are OS-agnostic and when they are specific to Windows or Linux.
- Ensure all screenshots and UI references are applicable to both Windows and Linux scenarios, or provide alternatives.
- Expand on Linux-specific post-migration best practices and activation/troubleshooting steps.
