In a computer-implemented method for automatic reconfiguration of a computing device for supporting a virtualization infrastructure, wherein the computing device comprises independent server nodes, upon initialization of the computing device, functioning independent server nodes of the independent server nodes self-register with one another, wherein one of the independent server nodes is a default primary independent server node comprising virtualization infrastructure management software. In response to the default primary independent server node not self-registering with the functioning independent server nodes, one of the functioning independent server nodes is automatically reconfigured as a new primary independent server node.
