Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for a method of dynamically converting servers and a computer and storage readable medium configured to do the same. In the method a first server enters a server conversion while a second server performs one or more network services. A current physical hardware configuration and logical hardware configuration of a first server and a second server is verified. Possible conversions are calculated of one or more valid logical hardware configurations and one or more valid physical hardware configurations based on the current hardware configurations of the first server and the second server. A valid physical hardware configuration is selected for both servers from the calculated possible conversions. The physical hardware is updated for the conversion of the physical hardware configuration of the first server. The current logical configuration of the first server converts to a valid logical hardware configuration based on the calculated possible conversions.
