Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All command-line examples use Windows paths and syntax, and the only method provided for generating the VM list is via VMware vSphere PowerCLI (a Windows/PowerShell tool). 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 alternatives or examples provided, and Linux users are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions and examples for generating VM lists using Linux-compatible tools (e.g., VMware vSphere CLI, Python scripts, or REST APIs).
- Clarify whether ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe can be run under Wine or in a Windows VM on Linux, and provide guidance if possible.
- Offer alternative report formats (e.g., CSV, HTML, or PDF) that do not require Microsoft Excel on Windows.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation.
- If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the Deployment Planner tool.
