title: How do I initialize a multi-node Cassandra cluster?
body: <p>I installed Cassandra DB on my Ubuntu VM1 and also installed on other VM Ubuntu VM2.
  MY question is:</p>
  <p>How to initialize multi node cluster (single data-center) on my VM's?</p>
  <p>I also changed my Cassandra.yaml like below:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>IP default to IP system seed , listen_address.</li>
  <li>cluster_name: 'MyDigitalOceanCluster'</li>
  <li>initial_token: 0</li>
  <li>seed_provider:</li>
  <li>seeds:  &quot;198.211.50.0&quot;</li>
  <li>listen_address: 198.211.50.0</li>
  <li>rpc_address: 0.0.0.0</li>
  <li>endpoint_snitch: RackInferringSnitch</li>
  </ol>
  <p>After the changes I received this message:</p>
  <pre><code>Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': 
  error(111, &quot;Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error: 
  Connection refused&quot;)})
  </code></pre>
