Why can't I connect to node1 with nodetool in the DS201 VM exercises?

When i am doing the exercise 09 on vnodes, I encounter this problem of one node is able to connect by the other node is unable to connect. Here are the screenshots.

At first, I have stop the 2 nodes which I have created on 07 exercises on Rings

/home/ubuntu/node1/resources/cassandra/bin/nodetool stopdaemon /home/ubuntu/node2/resources/cassandra/bin/nodetool stopdaemon

1622537151742.png then i remove the directory for both nodes using the commands

rm -rf /home/ubuntu/node1/data/

rm -rf /home/ubuntu/node2/data/

Then i edit the cassandra.yaml on 2 nodes using vi editor.

Node 1 below

Node 2 below

Then i restart the 2 nodes using dse cassandra

When i run the command

/home/ubuntu/node1/resources/cassandra/bin/nodetool status

I have only one node working

This error indicates that the Cassandra process isn't running because it's not listening for connections on port 7299:

nodetool: Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7299' - ConnectException: 'Connection refused (Connection refused)'.

You can confirm this by running either the Linux netstat or lsof utilities.

Here is an example netstat output from my VM:

$ sudo netstat -tnlp

The relevant entry is:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:7299            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3943/java

Here is an example lsof output from my VM:

$ sudo lsof -nPi -sTCP:LISTEN

java    3943 ubuntu  500u  IPv4  36111      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.2:7000 (LISTEN)
java    3943 ubuntu  507u  IPv4  36874      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:9042 (LISTEN)

Again, the relevant entry is:

java    3943 ubuntu  492u  IPv4  35543      0t0  TCP *:7299 (LISTEN)

If you can't see those entries, it means that the Cassandra process is not running which is why you can't run nodetool commands.

Review the Cassandra logs for clues as to why it had issues starting up. Cheers!
