Rename individual servers of gateway cluster

[Anonymous]

I know I can rename the cluster itself in the Power BI service under manage gateways, but how can I rename individual servers that are part of a gateway cluster?

Too bad that something simple like renaming is not yet possible. I will submit n idea soon and post the URL for voting here.

You can rename a gateway member using the powershell cmdlet Set-OnPremisesDataGateway, for example: Set-OnPremisesDataGateway -ClusterObjectID XXXX -GatewayObjectID YYYY -Name "NewName"

Please see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/data-integration/gateway/service-gateway-powershell-support

Hope this is not too late for you

If you also want this in power bi, let the power bi community to know this things and give your votes at power bi site's feedback——https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

Hi @Anonymous ,

To my knowledge, It is unavailable to rename an exsiting enterprise gateway currently. The name of data gateway is determined when you install the gateway. To add new gateway members to a gateway cluster, see Add another gateway to create a cluster.

You would need to re-install gateway to get new gateway name in  the machine.
