Hello Pradeep, It looks good to me and it's a cool runbook for you to follow and for others to reuse.
To make sure that cassandra nodes in one datacenter can see the nodes of > the other datacenter, add the seed node of the new datacenter in any of the > old datacenter’s nodes and restart that node. Nodes seeing each other from the distinct rack is not related to seeds. It's indeed recommended to use seeds from all the datacenter (a couple or 3). I guess it's to increase availability on seeds node and/or maybe to make sure local seeds are available. You can perfectly (and even have to) add your second datacenter nodes using seeds from the first data center. A bootstrapping node should never be in the list of seeds unless it's the first node of the cluster. Add nodes, then make them seeds.
