The new node will be part of the cloud as soon as it starts, but until you take action with the Collections API, it will not have any indexes on it. SolrCloud does not automatically create replicas except in a very specific set of circumstances that I do not think are very common. You'll need to either create a new collection or take steps to modify your current collection(s) so that one or more shard replicas are located on the new node. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API Thanks, Shawn
