Answer 1

Tried this on,

Cassandra: 3.11.2
RHEL: 6.5

In cassandra.yaml, keep the following values different for different instances:

1. native_transport_port
2. Data Directory
3. Commitlog Directory
4. Saved_Cache Directory
5. listen_address
6. broadcast_rpc_address(rpc_address set as 0.0.0.0)

Use loopback address in both listen_address and broadcast_rpc_address. Keep the storage port same in all the instances(i.e. 7000).

In cassandra-env.sh, keep the JMX_PORT different for different instances.
