Summary
The documentation consistently presents instructions and examples using the VMware vSphere web client GUI and vCenter terminology, which are platform-agnostic but heavily oriented toward Windows-based administrative workflows. There are no command-line examples (PowerShell or otherwise), but also no Linux CLI or automation examples. The only CLI instructions are for the maintenance console, which appears to be a custom interface, not a standard shell. There are no references to Linux tools, shell commands, or Linux-specific workflows, and no mention of how to perform these tasks from Linux environments or with Linux automation tools.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux-based workflows or CLI examples (e.g., using SSH, shell scripts, or VMware's Linux command-line tools such as govc or ovftool) for restoring VMs and VMDKs.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and clarify whether the vSphere web client and maintenance console are accessible from Linux systems.
- Provide automation examples using cross-platform tools (such as REST APIs, Ansible, or Python scripts) to ensure parity for Linux administrators.
- Include notes or sections addressing common Linux administrative environments and how to perform restore operations without relying on Windows-centric GUIs.
