Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for Hyper-V disaster recovery is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and operational instructions are centered on Windows Server (2012 R2, 2016), with explicit requirements for Windows-only tools (PowerShell, .NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, Microsoft Excel). There are no Linux equivalents or instructions, and all command-line examples use PowerShell. The documentation does not mention or support running the tool from Linux or provide parity for Linux-based Hyper-V management.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state Windows-only support at the top of the documentation, if Linux is not supported.
  • If possible, provide Linux-compatible versions of the tool or clarify cross-platform limitations.
  • Add a section addressing Linux/Unix users, including any workarounds or alternatives for similar disaster recovery planning.
  • Include examples or notes for VMware environments that may be managed from Linux, if relevant.
  • If future support for Linux is planned, mention it and provide a roadmap or feedback channel.
