Method, apparatus and system for locating fault of server, and computer-readable storage medium

Abstract

A method for locating a fault of a server includes: physically connecting a GPIO pin of a BMC to a GPIO pin of target hardware in advance; reading a current state value of the GPIO signal of the target hardware in a power-on and activation process of a mainboard, and loading a corresponding version of the firmware according to the current state value and the condition for switching; and in response to determining that the corresponding version of the firmware is the debug version, outputting serial port log information of the debug version to the BMC, and in response to determining that the corresponding version of the firmware is the release version, determining whether to change the state value of the GPIO signal on a connection between the BMC and the target hardware according to a preset normal activation condition and a system event log.
