Power BI Gateway Cluster Take Over Primary

[josmond]

I have a Power BI Gateway cluster.

PBIGateway (Primary) Server A

PBIGateway2               Server B

Can I install the Gateway on Server C and take over PBIGateway (Primary) ???

Any procedures other than just "takeover" ?

I need to decommision Server A

Can anyone explain it more about the "you'll just need to select the Primary when you are in the migration dialog of the installation"?

It has been a while since I have done it, but you'll just need to select the Primary when you are in the migration dialog of the installation.

Thanks !

You can perform a take over operation on the new server when installing the gateway software.  You will need the recovery key created when you first installed your gateway cluser.

OK, and it doesn't matter that it is the Primary?
