First of all, you should have same seed settings with both Node1 and Node2.
There is no master node for Cassandra, so every node has to know others nod=
es.

And to know which one stores data, I think it depends on your
partitioner and replication factor settings.
If you have settings in storage-conf.xml like below, your data stores
at only one node
because replication factor is 1, and it is distributed by MD5
hash(RandomPartitioner).
----
   <ReplicationFactor>1</ReplicationFactor>
   <Partitioner>org.apache.cassandra.dht.RandomPartitioner</Partitioner>
----

Hope this helps.
