    Hi MarcVndrhgn ，

     

    You should  remove other gateway instances from this cluster before removing the primary gateway. But before you removing the primary gateway , you should  install a new gateway  and enter the recovery key to restore, or take over an on-premises data gateway. Then you can unistall the original primary gateway without losing  all the connections of data sources .

     

    If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

     

    Best Regards,

lbendlin , thank you for your answer.

We will try  adding a new server to the cluster and do the recovery.

 

Thanks
