So, if you installed with the install script (warning: I used 5.4 but I think everything is the same) and add this setting in your solr.in.sh file your solr boxes should start in cloud mode when the server starts up.
The -c option also works, but for a production type installation, it's a lot easier to have it "just start" when you start the server and issue service solr restart when you want to restart... There is an instruction page for "installing Solr for Production" which you may want to look at... https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Taking+Solr+to+Production Pay special attention to the part that talks about ZK_HOME and the chroot suggestion. Using the chroot on the end of the list of ZK hosts keeps your solr "data files" separate from everything else in Zookeeper - which is very handy if you're using Zookeeper for other tools. I wrestled through all of this a few months back - take a look at the "Install Solr for Prod" page - I think that will help - then ping back if you need more assistance getting it to run in cloud mode automatically.
