If, and only if you need to fix your problem as fast as you can, I would think about virtualization. You need to replicate your Solr and his index-files.
The idea is quiete easy: while one Solr-server does its optimization, the other one is available for searching documents without any downtime. After the first Solr-server has finished, add every document that has been added to the second Solr's index and then optimize the second one. Afterwards you can choose one of these servers as your default-server and minimize system's ressources for the other one. It's only an idea. I have never done something like that, but maybe it helps. For more information consider the wiki for "distributed search".
