Without knowing too much more information I would try this… * Restart node each node in turn, watch the logs to see what it says about the other. * If that restart did not fix it, try using the Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false JVM option when starting the node. That will tell it to ignore it's stored ring view and use what gossip is telling it. Add it as a new line at the bottom of cassandra-env.sh.
If it's still failing watch the logs and see what it says when it marks the other as been down.
