Hi Team,

I have analysed ur document and got this information. Can you please review and update ur document with below changes.

Document link: [Adding a New Node Into an Existing ScyllaDB Cluster (Out Scale) | ScyllaDB Docs](https://enterprise.docs.scylladb.com/stable/operating-scylla/procedures/cluster-management/add-node-to-cluster.html)

Changes required:  
Under procedure section: after 2nd point ( On each node, edit the `scylla.yaml` file `/etc/scylla/` to configure the parameters listed below.)  
3rd point should not be the start scylla-server on new node. Before starting scylla-server, the 3rd point should be "we need to be update the /etc/scylla/cassandra-rackdc.properties file on new node with collecting info by the existing node /etc/scylla/cassandra-rackdc.properties file .

After updating the DC, rack information on new node we can start the scylla-server

Scylla Team, Please review this and update ur documentation accordingly with the required process.

Thanks,  
Charan
