If you need to force this, you can either reload all the cores or reload the collection: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3488 > What if bootstrapping is defined (bootstrap_configdir)?

There are some Solr specific zk scripts that you can use. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud#Getting_your_Configuration_Files_into_ZooKeeper I would use Solr's zk script for managing the configuration.
