Hello again John, The AMI has been patched and tested for both DSE and C* and works for the standard 3 node test. The new code has been pushed to the 2.4 branch so launching a new set of instances will give you an updated AMI.
You should now have the newest version of OpsCenter installed, along with the new DataStax Agents (that replace the OpsCenter Agents). Also, I've patched the two bugs for the motd and for allowing the other nodes to join. The issue came from a new release of nodetool that contained some unexpected text that choked up the AMI code as it waited for nodes to come online. Let me know if you see any further issues. Thanks, Joaquin Casares DataStax Software Engineer in Test <http://www.datastax.com/what-we-offer/products-services/training/virtual-training> On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 2:02 PM, Joaquin Casares <joaq...@datastax.com>wrote: > Hey John, > > Thanks for letting us know.
