How to add PowerBI Gateway to existing cluster using PowerShell Cmdlets?

Question

I managed to install PowerBI Gateway programatically

Install-Module -Name DataGateway -Force -Scope AllUsers
Login-DataGatewayServiceAccount
Install-DataGateway -AcceptConditions

Now I am looking for a way to add this gateway to existing cluster. There is a function to remove gateway Remove-DataGatewayClusterMember, but for some reasons there is no function to add.

Is there anyway to add PowerBI Gateway to existing cluster using PowerShell Cmdlets or something else?

Answer 1

No, there is no way to add a cluster to an existing gateway. That cmdlet will only setup and create a new gateway cluster with the machine. Suggest you submit feedback for the Microsoft Power BI team here:

Answer 2

You cannot do it via Powershell as of today but you definitely do it using the UI. Here is an article that can help you. add-another-gateway-to-create-a-cluster

This issue was resolved in the October 2023 gateway updates:
