Is the datastax-agent running fine on the node ? What does nodetool status and system.log show ?

It's been 3 full days since the replacement node started, and the node is still not showing up as part of the cluster on OpsCenter. I was wondering whether the delay is due to the fact that I have a test keyspace with replication factor of one? If I delete that keyspace, would the new node successfully replace the dead node? Any general insight will be hugely appreciated. Thanks, Mir
