Alias is a *Collections* API concept, not a CoreAdmin API concept. One question is this: Do you have a *collection* named core1, or just a *core* named core1? I'm pretty sure that it's possible on a SolrCloud system to have cores that are not participating in the cloud infrastructure. Collections are made up of shards. Shards have replicas. Each replica is a core. I'd like to see whether you have configurations loaded into zookeeper. In the admin UI, click on Cloud, then Tree. Click the arrow to the left of "/configs" to open it. If you see folders underneath /configs, then you do have at least one configurations in zookeeper, and you will have the name(s) they are using. You can also click the arrow next to /collections and see whether you have any collections. The Cloud->Graph page shows you a visual representation of your cloud. Let us know what you find. If you have anything there, I can give you some API URL calls that will hopefully fully illustrate what I'm saying. Thanks, Shawn
