Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for managing a failure of a device. The method comprises detecting whether a failure occurs in a device, and generating a failure report for the failure in response to the failure occurring in the device. The method further comprises querying a device object repository with the failure report, and the object device repository stores historical failure information associated with the device and a fix solution corresponding to the historical failure information. The method further comprises obtaining the fix solution from the device object repository based on a comparison between the failure report and the historical failure information. Embodiments of the present disclosure can manage the failure of the device more effectively.
