'Replace Cassandra seed node after hardware failure on same machine?
I have two VMs, each hosting a Cassandra seed node. I wipe one VM to simulate a hardware failure. I reinstall Cassandra and add replace_address_first_boot the end of the cassandra-env.sh file (with my real ipaddress)
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dcassandra.replace_address_first_boot=1.1.1.1"
nodetool status on the other machine lists this machine as DN
cassandra.yaml displays the default value of auto_bootstrap: true
Yet, Cassandra startup fails with:
ERROR [main] 2022-02-24 01:43:36,546 CassandraDaemon.java:803 - Exception encountered during startup
java.lang.RuntimeException: Replacing a node without bootstrapping risks invalidating consistency guarantees as the expected data may not be present until repair is run. To perform this operation, please restart with -Dcassandra.allow_unsafe_replace=true
How can I bootstrap the new seed machine even though it has the same ipaddress as the old seed machine without using an unsafe flag?
