01/31/2024, 7:22 AM@creamy-pencil-82913, using RKE2 terminology, I would like to setup new server nodes (without local worker) and to convert the old servers into agents, without confusing Rancher.

01/31/2024, 8:03 AMSwapping servers around like that is tricky to do. I would probably add the new servers, then delete the current ones, then reinstall them as agents. Once that is done you can add taints to the servers and delete whatever pods you don't want on the servers so that they get rescheduled.
