Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples for generating VM lists use VMware PowerCLI (a Windows/PowerShell tool), and instructions reference Windows-specific concepts (Notepad, UNC paths, Excel, Control Panel). The deployment planner tool itself is a Windows executable (.exe), and report generation requires Microsoft Excel on Windows. There are no Linux/macOS alternatives or examples provided, and Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first throughout.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions and examples for generating VM lists using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., using VMware's Python SDK, govc, or shell scripts).
- Clarify whether the ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe tool can run under Wine or Mono on Linux/macOS, or provide a cross-platform version.
- Offer alternatives for viewing and editing output files (e.g., using LibreOffice for Excel files on Linux/macOS).
- Include notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, such as how to handle file paths, text editing, and prerequisites.
- If PowerCLI is required, mention how it can be installed and used on Linux/macOS (PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but PowerCLI support should be clarified).
