Thanks for the help, this seems to have worked. Except that while adding the
new node we added the same token to a different IP (operational script
goofup) and brought the node up, so now the other nodes just had the message
that a new IP had taken over the token.

ok I will go with the IP change strategy and keep you posted. Not going to
manually copy any data, just bring up the node and let it bootstrap.
Thanks

Hi -
From what I understand, Peter's recommendation should work for you. They
have both worked for me. No need to copy anything by hand on the new node.
Bootstrap/repair does that for you. From the Wiki:
If a node goes down entirely, then you have two options:
(Recommended approach) Bring
Let me be specific on lost data -> lost a replica , the other 2 nodes have
replicas
I am running read/write at quorum. At this point I have turned off my
clients from talking to this node. So if that is the case I can potentially
just nodetool repair (without changing IP). But would it be better

You're saying the raid failed and data is gone?
