The steps that I use to setup the collection are slightly different:
1) Start zk and upconfig the config set. Your approach is same. 2) Start appservers with Solr zkHost set to the zk started in step 1. 3) Use a core admin command to spin up a new core and collection. http://app01/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=storage-core&collection=storage&numShards=1&collection.configName=storage-conf<http://app03/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=storage&numShards=1&replicationFactor=2&collection.configName=storage-conf> &shard=shard1 This will spin up the new collection and initial core. I'm not using a replication factor because the following commands manually bind the replicas. 4) Spin up replica with a core admin command: http://app02/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=storage-core&collection=storage&<http://app03/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=storage&numShards=1&replicationFactor=2&collection.configName=storage-conf> shard=shard1 5) Same command as above on the 3rd server to spin up another replica. This will spin up a new core and bind it to shard1 of the storage collection.
