You might want to follow DataStax docs on this one: For adding a DC to an existing cluster: https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse/5.1/dse-admin/datastax_enterprise/operations/opsAddDCToCluster.html For adding a new node to an existing cluster: https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse/5.1/dse-admin/datastax_enterprise/operations/opsAddNodeToCluster.html
briefly speaking, adding one node to an existing cluster --> use auto_bootstrap adding a DC to an existing cluster --> rebuild You need to check the version of c* that you're running, and make sure you pick the right doc version for that. Most of my colleagues miss very important steps while adding/removing nodes/cluster, but if they stick to the docs, they always get it done right.
