Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples for generating the VM list use VMware vSphere PowerCLI (PowerShell), with no mention of Linux alternatives (such as using the vSphere CLI or Python scripts). The tool itself (ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe) is a Windows executable, and report generation explicitly requires a Windows PC or Windows Server with Excel installed. File path examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., E:\), and remote directory examples use UNC paths, which are Windows-specific. There is no guidance for running the tool or generating reports from Linux or macOS environments.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for generating the VM list, such as using vSphere CLI, Python scripts, or REST API calls.
- Clarify whether the ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe tool can be run under Wine or in a VM on non-Windows platforms, or provide a cross-platform version if possible.
- Offer guidance on how to view or process the generated Excel report on Linux/macOS (e.g., using LibreOffice, or converting to CSV).
- Include file path examples using Linux conventions (e.g., /mnt/vcenter1_profileddata) alongside Windows paths.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation, and suggest workarounds for non-Windows users.
