Hi@akhtar,

To avoid this error, You have to configure cassandra-env.sh file.

• Open the configuration file using following command.

$ vi /etc/cassandra/default.conf/cassandra-env.sh

• uncomment the below line

JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1"

• Restart cassandra service

$ systemctl restart cassandra

Hope this will help.

Thank You
