first node in a cluster - should it be a seed node

Hello,

Can you please comment if first node in a cluster  must  be a seed node. Is it mandatory or not? How will it behave

Regards,
Vikram

No, any node can be seed node. But to start the cluster and nodes addition you need some node as seed node. Make sure to include at least one node from each DC as seed. DO NOT make all nodes as seed.
