Erick & Shawn, I am using Solr 4.10.2. Here is the create command, keeping the shard=<shard1> same and changing the name=<different folder> http://'<host1>'/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=shard1_1&collection=collectionName&shard=shard1&collection.configName=collconf'http://'<host2>'/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=shard1_2&collection=collectionName&shard=shard1&collection.configName=collconf' RegardsRajesh

What I have always heard is that this is what Solr 4.0.0 did when creating a collection -- all the cores ended up with the same name as the collection. I have never used 4.0.0, so I cannot claim any first-hand knowledge. Supporting more than one shard per node would not be possible with that naming method. Thanks, Shawn
