Hi pruthvi,

Since it’s not possible to add or remove services from an exsiting node, you’ll need to add a new node, then remove the old node. The process might go something like this:

  1. Add a new node with the desired services, and rebalance it into the cluster.
  2. Reconfigure your applications to connect to the cluster using the new node’s address, so the next time you restart them they can still connect to the cluster. (You might be able to skip this step if you’re using DNS SRV.)
  3. Remove the original node from the cluster, and rebalance.

See Rebalance | Couchbase Docs

Thanks,
David
