PBI Gateway Cluster

[Nav_14]

Hi 

We have a PBI Gateway cluster configured as 'Test1Cluster'

The 'Test1Cluster' has issues , is it good idea to re-configure the cluster or add New cluster and change the PBI Gateway cluster to new one.

My worries is re-configuring might impact the PBI Gateway cluster pointing to 'Test1Cluster'

Pls suggest best away to avoid sevice disruption.

Hi @Nav_14,

You can consider to use powershell to manage your gateway cluster, manually remove gateways from current cluster and add them to new cluster.

Hi @Nav_14,

The gateway object id which you displayed is the primary gateway which host the cluster. As document mentioned, you need to remove this after remove other gateways. 

Sample:

Remove -OnPremisesDataGateway -CluserObjectID xxxx-xxx-xxx123 -GatewayObjectID 1233-299292

Lets you remove a gateway instance from a cluster - note that the primary gateway in the cluster cannot be removed until all other gateways in the cluster are removed.
