Chris, Which C* version are you running? You might want to do an upgrade to the latest version before reducing the vnode counts, a lot of fixes and improvement went in lately, it might help you getting your repair faster.

We have 3 DC setup – one with 9 nodes, two with 3 nodes each. Each node has 256 vnodes. We’ve found that repair operations are beginning to take too long. Is reducing the number of vnodes to 64/32 likely to help our situation? What options do I have for achieving this in a live cluster? Thanks, Chris
