Problem adding new node power bi report server - Scale out not found?
Hi, We are currently running a PowerBI Reportserver. Lets call it [EU1]. EU1 holds the sql configuration as well. I wish to add another node, to have geographic coverage. Lets call this [US2]. I've installed powerbi report server on US2 and connected it to the database on EU1. According to the instruction I found, I'm supposed to now "Scale Out". But for the life of me, I cannot find this button. I've been trying to replicate the steps in this guide: How to install Power BI on-premise Report Server nodes across several machines behind a network load balancer (NLB) | Vikas D More (wordpress.com) Note that I have not installed any clustering / load balancing. The following steps are mentioned in the guide: To join the second report server instance to the scale-out deployment Open the Reporting Services Configuration tool, and reconnect to the first report server instance. The first report server is already initialized for reversible encryption operations, so it can be used to join additional report server instances to the scale-out deployment. Click Scale-out Deployment to open the Scale-out Deployment page. You should see two entries, one for each report server instance that is connected to the report server database. The first report server instance should be joined. The second report server should display a status of “Waiting to join”. If you do not see similar entries for your deployment, verify you are connected to the first report server that is already configured and initialized to use the report server database. On the Scale-out Deployment page, select the report server instance that is waiting to join the deployment, and click Add Server. Question 1 : I asume this is the powerbi report server configuration manager; Not something accessed via SQL Management Studio. If this is a item that should be found via SSMS, I'm uncertain if this is a database connection or SSRS connection. Question 2 : I do NOT see any scale out deployment page. I'm at a loss where to find it. Question 3 : As stated, I did not install any load balancing; Is this an essential step I skipped incorrectly? A screenshot concerning my config: Thanks for your help
