Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for Hyper-V disaster recovery is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and operational instructions are Windows-specific, requiring Windows Server, PowerShell, and Windows-only tools (e.g., .NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, Microsoft Excel). There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are alternative instructions or examples provided for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether the tool can run on Linux or macOS, and if not, explicitly state Windows-only support in the introduction.
- If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the tool, or provide alternative Linux/macOS-compatible utilities for similar planning tasks.
- Include example workflows or guidance for VMware users running on Linux hosts, if relevant.
- Offer guidance on how non-Windows users can access or interpret the output (e.g., using open-source spreadsheet tools instead of Excel).
- List any limitations for non-Windows environments prominently in the prerequisites section.
