Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for loading configuration information. The method for loading configuration information according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: obtaining a first digest from a baseboard management controller BMC, wherein the first digest is generated according to first configuration information stored in BMC; comparing the first digest with a second digest locally stored in a host system, wherein the second digest is generated according to second configuration information locally stored in the host system, and the second configuration information is configuration information loaded in the last boot of the host system; and in response to determining that the first digest differs from the second digest, obtaining the first configuration information from BMC for overwriting the second configuration information, so as to load the first configuration information in the course of booting the host system.
