Pass -Dcassandra.join_ring=false via the command line (at the bottom of cassnadra-env.sh)
That will stop the node joining the ring. The node will still take requests from clients, but will only be able to serve requests at CL One for the keys it is a replica for. Other in the cluster will not send traffic to it. use `nodetool join` to get it back into the ring.
