Changing Anchor Gateway to different tenant

Hi,

 

We have Premium in use with two Tenants, one in US and the other Western Europe. Our On-Premises gateways have been installed when we only had US tenant available. This means that our Anchor Cluster and the gateways are installed to US region. Can we change the Region for the clusters or do we have to create a new Anchor Cluster to WE tenant? Also in this case, do we have to manually re-create all data source connections

Hi @Hippo ,

 

If you are meaning the datacenter region for the on-premises data gateway, based on this document, 

  • During installation of the on-premises data gateway, you can set the datacenter region used by the gateway
    • If you have registered for either Power BI or Office 365, the datacenter region by default is the region of the registered service's tenant.
    • Otherwise, the datacenter region might be the Azure region closest to you.
  • If you want to change the datacenter region after you install your gateway, you can
    • Restore the gateway on the current gateway machine.
    • Migrate the gateway to a different machine.
    • Take over the gateway on a different machine.

But For Power BI, the gateway can only be used in your default tenant region.

"But For Power BI, the gateway can only be used in your default tenant region."

 

So in a premium environment with two tenants, you can only setup gateways to default region if I understood?
