Question

As per this article, I could generate tokens, configured Cassandra.yaml on both machines and restarted services on both machines.

After that need to check for the new cluster using node tool utility by entering the following command: nodetool –h localhost ring

The output shows following exception:

C:\Program Files\DataStax Community\apace cassandra\bin>nodetool -h localhost ring     
Starting NodeTool
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files\DataStax    
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Files\DataStax ...

Can anyone help me resolving this issues? Seems like it could not find the jar files.

Sounds like the classpath quoting bug that was fixed (for the not-yet-released 1.0.8 version) in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3744. You can download a fixed nodetool.bat from https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-1.0/bin/nodetool.bat in the meantime.

I can’t think of anything you’d want nodetool for that opscenter doesn’t do better, though.
