On Premises Data Gateway

I already installed the On Premises Data Gateway on a remote server.

I now need to install it on a 2nd and 3rd remote server.
The corresponding PBI report will be built using data from all the 3 server. 

So, the question is:

- when I install the Gateway on the additional servers, what option do I select?

  1. Install new Gateway
  2. Restore/Migrate/Take Over existing gateway

If I select option 2) the existing Gateway cluster is then listed as an option.

 

Thank you.

    Hi , EVEAdmin 

    According to your description ,you can refer to this article  Add another gateway to create a cluster.

    And here you need to select option 1 to create a new  On-Premises-Data-Gateway and then you need to add it to existing cluster.

    If you select option 2 ( the existing Gateway cluster is then listed as an option), it means that  migrate/take over/recover the gateway to the cluster.

      v-easonf-msft thank you

      The gateway management is where I struggle the most, ever since I started using PBI, in April last year.

      If I understand well, I need to have 1 Cluster with 3 gateways.

      Cluster A

      1. gateway 1
      2. gateway 2
      3. gateway 3

      Instead of 

      Cluster A

      1. Gateway 1

      Cluster B

      1. Gateway 1

      Cluster C

      1. Gateway 1
