Same results. I restarted the node also to see if it just wasn't picking up the changes and it still shows Simple.
When I specify the DC for strategy_options I should be using the DC name from properfy file snitch right? Ours is "Fisher" and "TierPoint" so that's what I used.

I have a couple questions on the best way to do this after reading the documentation on the Datastax website. We didn't initially plan for this to be a DR setup when first deployed a while ago due to budgeting, but now we need to. So I'm just trying to nail down the order of doing this as well as any potential issues. For the nodes, we don't plan on querying the servers in this DR until we fail over to this data center. We are going to have 5 similar nodes in the DR, should I join them into the ring at token+1? Join them at token+10 just to leave a little space. Make sure you're using LOCAL_QUORUM for your queries instead of regular QUORUM. All keyspaces are set to the replication strategy of SimpleStrategy. Can I change the replication strategy after joining the new nodes in the DR to NetworkTopologyStategy with the updated replication factor for each dr? Switch your keyspaces over to NetworkTopologyStrategy before adding the new nodes. For the strategy options, just list the first dc until the second is up (e.g. {main_dc: 3}). Lastly, is changing snitch from default of SimpleSnitch to RackInferringSnitch going to cause any issues? Since its in the Cassandra.yaml file I assume a rolling restart to pick up the value would be ok? This is the first thing you'll want to do. Unless your node IPs would naturally put all nodes in a DC in the same rack, I recommend using PropertyFileSnitch, explicitly using the same rack. (I tend to prefer PFSnitch regardless; it's harder to accidentally mess up.) A rolling restart is required to pick up the change. Make sure to fill out cassandra-topology.properties first if using PFSnitch. This is all on Cassandra 1.1.4, Thanks for any help! -- Tyler Hobbs DataStax<http://datastax.com/>
