Hi Erick, Thanks for your reply, but I did used the ADD REPLICA api at the first. However, since the newly added Sold node is down, it throws Exception " One of the nodes is down" and hence the operation fails.
I noticed that the node becomes GREEN only after adding the core via Admin UI. Also, I am using docker containers on AWS machines to have multiple solr instances running inside them. I was trying to test what will happen if one of the docker containers exit and I realized this issue.

It can work, but you have to get everything exactly right. Instead, you should be using the ADDREPLICA command from the Collections API, see: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API Although I do have to ask why the Solr node is going down. If it's not something permanent, the replicas should return to green after the node is re-started. There are plans to provide a screen in the new Admin UI to allow you to add replicas to a collection and the like, but that code hasn't been added yet.
