Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows Server and PowerShell are mentioned first and most frequently for appliance setup and migration steps. Key instructions, such as copying installer files and running configuration wizards, reference Windows Server 2016 explicitly, with no parallel Linux instructions. Registry and group policy checks are Windows-specific, and the use of PowerShell scripts is emphasized for both VMware and physical server scenarios. Linux is mentioned in credential requirements and OS support, but there are no Linux-specific setup or troubleshooting examples, nor guidance for running the appliance or installer on Linux hosts.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for deploying the replication appliance on Linux hosts, including supported distributions and prerequisites.
- Offer Linux shell script equivalents for PowerShell-based installation and configuration steps.
- Document Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and requirements (e.g., SELinux, firewall, systemd services).
- Ensure that references to Windows tools (e.g., SetupDiag, registry, group policy) are paired with Linux alternatives or clarify their applicability.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux side-by-side, or clearly indicate when instructions are OS-specific.
