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 Server with Excel. Directory paths and file operations use Windows conventions (e.g., E:\, UNC paths). There is no guidance for running the tool or preparing input files from Linux or macOS environments.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS-compatible instructions for generating the VM list, such as using vSphere CLI, govc, or Python scripts.
- Clarify whether the ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe tool can be run under Wine or in a VM on non-Windows platforms, or provide a cross-platform alternative.
- Include examples of directory paths and file operations using Linux conventions (e.g., /home/user/ProfiledData).
- Mention alternatives to Microsoft Excel for report viewing, such as LibreOffice, if supported.
- Explicitly state Windows-only requirements early in the documentation and suggest workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
