Description

When Opscenter 4.1.4 or 5.0.1 tries to provision a 2-node DSC 2.0.10 cluster in either ec2 or locally, an error occurs sometimes with one of the nodes refusing to start C*. The error in the /var/log/cassandra/system.log is:

This errors does not always occur when provisioning a 2-node cluster, but probably around half of the time on only one of the nodes. I haven't been able to reproduce this error with DSC 2.0.9, and there have been no code or definition file changes in Opscenter.

I can reproduce locally with the above steps.  I'm happy to test any proposed fixes since I'm the only person able to reproduce reliably so far.
