Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All example commands for gathering VM lists use VMware vSphere PowerCLI (a Windows/PowerShell tool), and the main tool (ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe) is a Windows executable. Instructions reference Windows-specific concepts (Notepad, UNC paths, Control Panel, Excel XLSM output, etc.) and do not provide Linux/macOS alternatives or guidance. The report generation explicitly requires Windows and Excel. No Linux shell, cross-platform, or macOS instructions/examples are given.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS alternatives for gathering VM lists, such as using VMware CLI tools (e.g., govc, pyvmomi, or vSphere API calls via Python/Perl).
- Clarify whether ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe can run under Wine or Mono on Linux/macOS, or provide a cross-platform version if possible.
- Offer instructions for viewing or converting the generated Excel report on non-Windows platforms (e.g., LibreOffice, Excel Online, or CSV export).
- Include notes or examples for Linux/macOS users where file paths, text editors, or command-line usage differ.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the top of the document.
