Power BI Gateway Missing
Hello,
We have a Power BI gateway cluster, and a Power BI personal gateway. When I login to https://app.powerbi.com/ I am only able to see the Power BI gateway cluster. I am not sure if it matters, but the gateway cluster and the personal gateway are on two separate servers. For each server we need to connect to separate VPN's (I'm not sure if this matters either).
Is the personal gateway registered at Power Platform admin center (microsoft.com) ?
Why are you using a personal gateway here too? If you are connecting through VPNs and managing gateway clusters, all of your gateways should be standard (enterprise) gateways and centrally managed. You can install a standard gateway outside of your cluster with the correct configs. You can, in fact, have multiple clusters if you want.

Thank you for your response! I was not aware that if you have a gateway cluster then you can set them up on different servers (it's been a long time since I've used a gateway and it was setup by a previous user). I gues when it comes to the gateways is there any good literature on how to setup ODBC data sources? I have been searching and everything has been setup correctly on the server that the gateway is setup on, but when I add the data source to Power BI online it says that it cannot connect. I am doing a copy and past of the connection string from the Power BI report into the Power BI online connection string.

Sorry, no. Not a lot of ODBC experience. You may want to start a new thread with Gateway and ODBC in the subject line so someone with experience is more likely to see it.I think the Service forum is the right place for it.
