It should work this way: 1. Move your data to the new node (scp, etc.) 2. Make sure the new node is configured to use the same token as the new node. 3. Stand up the new node. 4. Turn off the old node.
If your environment is volatile, it's probably best to run `nodetool repair` on the new node. Gary.
