See here for more details: > http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/operations/ops_replace_seed_node.html > Better, OP could comment on the below JIRA ticket emphasizing the need for fewer than 3 alternative and logically ambiguous ways to do the common operation of replacing a seed node. Especially because the options say nonsensical things like : " Add the replacement seed node's IP to all the node's seed lists. You do not need to restart the nodes. " If you do not restart the nodes, they do not know the replacement node is a seed. This act seemingly cannot have meaning until the future time at which all nodes are restarted. As detailed in the ticket, I assert that no one understands what it actually means to be a seed, and why seeds should or should not be able to bootstrap. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5836 =Rob
