Oh, I see. So if the nodes can't use different storage ports, then it's obvious why it's not needed to specify a port for seeds (there's only one possible value, shared by all the nodes). I don't see a reason for this restriction, but it explains the need for multiple IPs. > rpc_port: Used for Thrift which the Cassandra clients connect to. > > I can't understand why you can't change rpc_port. That statement (I've mixed rpc and storage port in my previous post) was based on the logic that if you can't specify a port for a seed, you can't actually change it. I didn't know all the nodes need to share the same storage port, which means you don't need to specify the port because it's equal to the port for the new node. regards Tomas
