Advocate VGateway Upgrade / Installation - Rebind datasources
Hi KarenL7,
Since the original gateway cluster is still available, we recommend installing the new/reinstalled gateway and adding it as a member of the existing gateway cluster. Microsoft documents selecting Add to an existing cluster and providing the recovery key of the existing gateway when registering the additional gateway. The Add-DataGatewayClusterMember PowerShell cmdlet also provides a programmatic way to add a new gateway member to an existing cluster.

Thank you.
Super UserHi KarenL7,
While there are APIs to create connections, there is no way that I know of to reassign a connection from one gateway to another.

The recommended approach when migrating gateways is to install the new gateway as a new node in the existing cluster, and then deactivate the old node.
