OK, assuming that by "virtual machine" you're talking JVMs and not VMWare or something....
bin/solr start -c -z localhost:2181 -p 8981 -s example/cloud/node1/solr bin/solr start -c -z localhost:2181 -p 8982 -s example/cloud/node2/solr Note that I cheat and use one of the example configs create example/cloud/node1, example/cloud/node2 etc., then kill the Solr, then start them individually as above. It works just fine to create node1/solr and node2/solr somewhere, and then just copy solr.xml and zoo.cfg into both HTH, Erick On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 10:04 AM, David Patterson <patt...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to make two virtual machines, each with one 4.10 SOLR-cloud code > instance, connected to the same external Zookeeper site. > > I want to create one data collection with one shard on each of these two > machines. > > If I use the "start" method as described in the Apache Solr Reference Guide > for my release, will the two machines be connected if I declare the same > data collection name for both of them?
