A node can also be marked as unschedulable and drained manually. Without going into specifics, this is done with the following kubectl commands.

kubectl cordon <node> # marks the node as unschedulable (but doesn’t do anything with pods running on that node).

kubectl drain <node> # marks the node as unschedulable and then evicts all the pods from the node.

So try drain options in your case.

Note: In both cases, no new pods are scheduled to the node until you uncordon it again with kubectl uncordon <node>.
