We are in the midst of a PoC running RHEL on PowerPC to support HANA. On our test system, initial CI creation and discovery has worked ok, but there is a gap in that the Linux Server Pattern relies on dmidecode to get several of pieces of the information about the Linux hardware and the dmidecode interface does not exist outside of x86/x64 architecture.
I'm considering customizing the Linux Server pattern to also run /proc/ppc64/lparcfg to gather additional hardware information. Is anyone in the community already doing this? I would love to share ideas
