Windows Support
Prior to Rancher v2.5.6, the agent
did not have native Windows manifests on downstream clusters with Windows nodes. This would result in a failing agent
pod for the cluster.
If you are upgrading from an older version of Rancher to v2.5.6+, you can deploy a working agent
with the following workflow in the downstream cluster:
- Cordon all Windows nodes.
- Apply the below toleration to the
agent
workload. - Uncordon all Windows nodes.
- Delete all
agent
pods. New pods should be created with the new toleration. - Once the
agent
pods are running, and auto-update is enabled for Fleet, they should be updated to a Windows-compatibleagent
version.
tolerations:
- effect: NoSchedule
key: cattle.io/os
operator: Equal
value: linux
