A data correlation technique is provided for a computing environment
having multiple independent operating environments. The technique
includes associating by a first operating environment a first key to a
set of data to be obtained responsive to an identified event within the
computing environment; obtaining by a second operating environment the
set of data with the associated first key, and associating a second key
therewith; and using the set of data with the associated first key and
second key to match to the set of data at least one other set of data
obtained by the first operating environment or the second operating
environment responsive to the event. The at least one other set of data
has only the first key or the second key associated therewith. In one
implementation, the event is a fatal event at a network interface
adapter.
