Thank you for the very in-depth reply. Thinking more about it, I think in
my case I'm safe with keeping the cluster name. It actually took a ton of
firewall work to get these DCs talking to each other in the first place, so
I'm not too concerned about undoing that and having future accidental

Let's talk about the challenges, then talk about the strategy we'll use to
do this.
The logic cassandra uses to identify the rest of it's cluster comes down to
~3 things:
- Cluster name (in yaml and system.local)
- Seeds in your seed provider (probably a list of IPs in the yaml)
- The known peers
Premature send, apologies.
At minimum, I see the following needing to happen:
dc2:
update cluster name in system.local
cassandra.yaml in dc2:
cluster_name: change to new cluster name
seeds: change to point at a couple of local nodes
system_auth, system_distributed, system_traces, and

My google-fu is failing me this morning. I'm looking for any tips on
splitting a 2 DC cluster into two separate clusters. I see a lot of docs
about decomissioning a datacenter, but not much in the way of disconnecting
datacenters into individual clusters, but keeping each one as-is data-wise
