How to add existing Gateways together to create a Cluster

[kumsha1]

Hi,

Is it possible to add existing gateways together to create a cluster.

Ex: We have G1 and G2 gateways installed on different servers and now we want to add them together to create a clustered environment for load balancing, wondering if this is possible at all?. I know that, while installating a new gateway, we can add cluster but don't see any option for existing gateways.

Thanks in advance for any help !

Hi @kumsha1 ,

I am wondering if you can use PowerShell to get that done for you as I do not believe there is currently a way to retro-actively add a Gateway to a cluster.

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I have already reviewed the powershell options and it's possible to remove/delete a gateway from cluster, but there is no option to add existing gateways together to create a new cluster (or) to add existing gateways to a cluster unless it's a new installation.

I may end up installating a new gateway and then add it to an existing gateway to create a clustered environment. Do you know if there's any option to move connections from one gateway to another gateway (on-premise).
