Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Windows paths and syntax, and the only method provided for listing VMware VMs is via VMware vSphere PowerCLI (PowerShell), with no mention of Linux alternatives. The tool itself (ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe) is a Windows executable, and report generation explicitly requires a Windows PC or Server with Microsoft Excel. There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions, examples, or tool support mentioned.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-compatible instructions for listing VMware VMs, such as using 'govc', 'vim-cmd', or 'pyvmomi' scripts.
- Clarify whether the ASRDeploymentPlanner tool can run under Wine or on Linux, or provide a Linux-native version if possible.
- Offer examples using Linux file paths and shell syntax alongside Windows examples.
- Document any prerequisites or limitations for non-Windows users, and suggest workarounds or alternatives.
- Consider supporting report output formats that do not require Microsoft Excel (e.g., CSV, HTML, or open document formats).
