Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Critical setup steps, such as deploying the replication appliance, are described as creating a Windows Server 2016 VM, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives. Registry edits for Mobility service installation are detailed only for Windows, while Linux instructions are minimal and lack example commands. PowerShell is referenced as the manual setup method for the replication appliance, with no Linux shell or automation alternatives provided. Throughout, Windows-specific tools and troubleshooting steps are mentioned first or exclusively, and Linux guidance is often brief or missing.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and example commands for Linux VMs, including shell commands for Mobility service installation and troubleshooting.
- Clarify whether the replication appliance can be deployed on Linux, or state its Windows-only requirement upfront.
- Offer Linux-based alternatives to PowerShell scripts for appliance setup, such as Bash or Python scripts.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and post-migration steps, including activation and agent installation guidance for Linux VMs.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side where possible, rather than focusing on Windows first.
