Question about hardware system information

[Gustavo Frederico Temple Pedrosa]

Hello,

The VDSM uses Dmidecode to retrieve the information that will be used in the method VdsBrokerObjectsBuilder.UpdateHardwareSystemInformation().
The IBM POWER architecture does not have the information from the Dmidecode, however, it has other information.
In the case of new information for IBM POWER architecture, there are two options: (1) add new columns in the method VdsDAODbFacadeImpl.mapRow() and in the database, or (2) map the new set of information into a single column (using, for example, JSON).
What would be the best option? And in case of a future new architecture?

Regards,
Gustavo F Temple Pedrosa.
