What am I missing? I used the following instructions http://blog.thedigitalgroup.com/susheelk/2015/08/03/solrcloud-2-nodes-solr-1-node-zk-setup/#comment-4321 on 4 nodes. The only difference is I have 3 external zk servers. So this is how I am starting each solr node:
./bin/solr start -cloud -s /usr/local/bin/solr-7.2.1/server/solr/node1/ -p 8983 -z zk0-esohad,zk1-esohad,zk3-esohad:2181 -m 8g They all run without any errors, but when trying to create a collection with 2S/2R, I get an error saying only one node is running. ./server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -zkhost zk0-esohad,zk1-esohad,zk3-esohad:2181 -cmd upconfig -confname ems-collection -confdir /usr/local/bin/solr-7.2.1/server/solr/configsets/ems-collection-72_configs/conf "Operation create caused exception:":"org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Cannot create collection ems-collection. Value of maxShardsPerNode is 1, and the number of nodes currently live or live and part of your createNodeSet is 1. This allows a maximum of 1 to be created. Value of numShards is 2, value of nrtReplicas is 2, value of tlogReplicas is 0 and value of pullReplicas is 0. This requires 4 shards to be created (higher than the allowed number)", Any ideas?
