Data gateway - Change Primary
Why delete A? You will want to keep your failover setup.
The choreography is as follows:
- Have your recovery key handy. Nothing will work without that.
- Delete B from the cluster
- Register B as a replacement Primary in the cluster, kicking out A.
- Add the now orphaned A back into the cluster as a secondary gateway
You will not want to do this via Powershell.

do you mean as activity complets for takeover of primary gateway over B, we will see as follows:
- Gateway A (fail-over secondary)
- Gateway B (primary)
There's no failover. All cluster members share the load if you specify it with the checkbox. Primary/Anchor is purely cosmetic.
