Abstract
An approach is provided for collecting data for diagnosing a failure of a computer hardware device. After an indication of the failure of the computer hardware device that results in a full system crash is received, an address translation table of a central processing unit of the computer hardware device is collected. A format of call stack frames of an operating system (OS) image of the computer hardware device is retrieved. A type of the OS image is identified as being a hypervisor program image. Based on the collected address translation table, the retrieved format of the plurality of call stack frames, and the type of the OS image being a hypervisor program image, the call stack frames are retrieved and output to a computer file.
