Summary:Embodiments provide a method and computer program product including program instructions executable by a baseboard management controller in a multi-processor system to perform various operations. The operations include detecting a number of memory modules connected to each of a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) in the multi-processor system during boot, initiating operation of the multi-processor system as a single unified node in response to each of the CPUs being connected to an equal number of memory modules, and initiating partitioning of the multi-processor system into a first partitioned node and a second partitioned node in response to a first set of one or more of the CPUs each being connected to a first number of memory modules and a second set of one or more of the CPUs each being connected to a second number of memory modules that is different than the first number of memory modules.
