    Hi spencerhan 

    For your first question , if you delete the main cluster, then the rest of the few will be deleted as well, because the other gateways are created based on this main cluster, this is something that you will notice when you install it, you need to select the main cluster and then enter the name of the new gateway before you can add a new gateway underneath this main cluster. 

    For the second question , when you create a new gateway to go under this cluster, the name of the gateway is not automatically generated and does not go down in order. The name is defined by you.

     

    For the third question , if you deleted the previous gateway, then even if you reinstalled the gateway and kept the name the same as before, then you still need to reconfigure the data source and re-match it with the semantic model. This is because once you delete the gateway, all the previous settings will be deleted.
