Check out the maxShardsPerNode param for CREATE collection here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API#CollectionsAPI-api1 It defaults to 1 i.e. on a single node, only a single shard for the collection is allowed but you can override to a really high value e.g. start SolrCloud with a single node, create collection with numShards=5 and maxShardsPerNode=5 (or more), This will allow you to place multiple shards for the same collection on a single node. Also, the -DzkHost parameter has nothing to do with this. It is the connection string for the ZooKeeper server/ensemble and is required to start a SolrCloud node but has no impact on what you've asked.
