Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. The alternative to OVA deployment is exclusively a PowerShell installer script, with no mention of Bash, shell, or Linux-native installation methods. The VDDK installation instructions specify a Windows file path (C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit) and do not provide Linux/macOS equivalents. Credential examples and validation focus on Windows domain and non-domain credentials, with Linux mentioned only as a credential type, lacking further details or examples. The documentation does not provide Linux/macOS-specific guidance for appliance setup, configuration, or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS installation instructions for the appliance, including Bash or shell script alternatives to PowerShell.
- Include VDDK installation steps for Linux (e.g., typical Linux file paths, extraction commands, and permissions).
- Offer Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting and configuration guidance, such as firewall rules, proxy setup, and service management.
- Present credential examples for Linux servers, including SSH key-based authentication and required permissions.
- Ensure screenshots and UI references clarify cross-platform compatibility or differences.
