Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for Hyper-V is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and instructions are Windows-specific, with exclusive reliance on Windows Server, PowerShell commands, and Windows-only tools (such as .NET Framework and Visual C++ Redistributable). There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are alternative instructions or examples provided for non-Windows platforms. The tool itself appears to require Windows, and even report generation requires Microsoft Excel on Windows.
Recommendations
  • Clarify explicitly if the tool is Windows-only, and mention lack of Linux/macOS support in the prerequisites.
  • If possible, provide a cross-platform version of the tool or document alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include a section addressing Linux/macOS users, with guidance on how to approach Hyper-V disaster recovery planning from those platforms.
  • Offer example commands or workflows for Linux environments if any part of the process can be performed from Linux.
  • Consider providing web-based or platform-agnostic reporting options instead of requiring Microsoft Excel.
