Cassandra new node bootstrapping while it should not

I'm adding a new datacenter to an existing cluster and I'm following this "procedure".

However the first node I start is apparently bootstrapping: the load information from nodetool status keeps growing...

I added

auto_boostrap: false

in cassandra.yaml.

Am I missing something?

check your cassandra-rackdc.properties and don't forget to change DC(dc=DC1) name in that file if you are creating a new datacenter otherwise it will consider the new node as of same datacenter.

By adding auto_bootstrap: false , you tell the node not to bootstrap - that DOESNT tell it not to take any writes. What is the replication settings for the new datacenter? Did you already enable it in the various keyspaces? If so, it will participate in writes.

When you say you see the load increasing, is it streaming? Do you see files being transferred in nodetool netstats? Is the node Up, Normal or Up, Joining?
