Summary
The documentation exclusively references RVTools, a Windows-only tool, for exporting VMware inventory data. There are no mentions of Linux alternatives, nor are there instructions or examples for performing similar tasks on Linux systems. All guidance assumes access to Windows environments and tools, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Mention and provide instructions for Linux-compatible alternatives to RVTools, such as using VMware's PowerCLI (which can run on Linux via PowerShell Core), govmomi, or direct vSphere API queries.
- Include examples or steps for exporting VMware inventory data using Linux tools or scripts.
- Clarify platform requirements for RVTools and suggest cross-platform workflows where possible.
- Add a section comparing RVTools with Linux-compatible tools, highlighting pros and cons for each.
