ok I copied the cassandra.env from the host that had cassandra listening on port 7199 to the node that wasn't.
That got it listening on the JMX port: [root@beta:~] #lsof -i :7199 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME java 9197 root 45u IPv4 6411278 0t0 TCP *:7199 (LISTEN) But even tho I can telnet to that port from the seed node: [root@beta-new:~] #telnet 10.10.1.18 7199 Trying 166.78.27.18... Connected to 166.78.27.18. Escape character is '^]'. I still get connection refused when trying to decommission the node: [root@beta-new:~] #nodetool -host 10.10.1.18 decommission Failed to connect to '166.78.27.18:7199': Connection refused To Colin, thanks for the information! nodetool decomission <host-id-of-node-to-decomission> UN means UP, NORMAL Oh and thanks I tried that and it seems to be working! [root@beta-new:~] #nodetool decommission f2a48fc7-a362-43f5-9061-4bb3739fdeaf Decommission will decommission the node you are connected to and does not take arguments! Sorry guys, wrote this email in a hurry as we're checking out of a hotel room currently. :) I'll let you know if this does work.
