Summary
The documentation focuses exclusively on Windows deployments for SAP MaxDB, liveCache, and Content Server on Azure VMs. All configuration, backup, restore, and performance guidance is written for Windows environments, with repeated recommendations for Windows Server and Windows-specific storage tools (e.g., Storage Pools, Storage Spaces). There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or references to Linux tools or patterns for these SAP components, despite Azure supporting Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent sections for Linux deployments, including supported Linux distributions and VM types for SAP MaxDB, liveCache, and Content Server.
- Provide Linux-specific storage configuration guidance, referencing Linux tools (e.g., LVM, mdadm) and best practices for disk striping, caching, and backup.
- Include backup and restore instructions for Linux, mentioning native SAP MaxDB tools and common Linux backup utilities.
- List supported versions and configuration steps for SAP components on Linux, and clarify any differences or limitations compared to Windows.
- Ensure parity in recommendations for performance, monitoring, and availability features on Linux.
- Where third-party tools (e.g., MaxBack) are Windows-only, suggest Linux alternatives or clarify support status.
