RE: build ble mesh with multi provisioners

1) The provisioner is placed on a separate device in mesh sdk v2.0.1 compared with mesh sdk v1 (where the client does the provisioning). Seeing as a node is defined as a provisioned Bluetooth device that is a part of the Mesh network, I guess you could say the provisioner is a part of the network, even though it is not being provisioned per say.

I don't quite understand what you mean by: " if yes, it also configure a server or client when user switch it. " unfortunately.

2-4) Regarding your other questions, they have been mentioned in the Mesh Specifications, but no standard has been set for how to achieve a mesh network with multiple provisioners. This devzone question goes into more detail regarding your query.

From my understanding, I believe it would be easiest to use one provisioner & use remote provisioning (see remote provisioning client & server examples) to provision devices that are outside the range of the provisioner. This link might also be helpful regarding backing up provisioning data.
