Hi All - one node in an 11 node cluster experienced a drive failure on
the first drive in the list. I removed that drive from the list so that
it now reads:
data_file_directories:
- /data/2/cassandra/data
- /data/3/cassandra/data
- /data/4/cassandra/data
- /data/5/cassandra/data
- /data/6/cassandra/data
- /data/8/cassandra/data
- /data/9/cassandra/data
But when I try to start the server, I get:
Exception (java.lang.RuntimeException) encountered during startup: A
node with address /172.16.100.251:7000 already exists, cancelling join.
Use cassandra.replace_address if you want to replace this node.

Gossiper.java:1993 - No local state, state is in silent shutdown, or

Do I need to remove and re-add the node? When a drive fails with
cassandra, is it common for the node to come down?
Thank you!
