You may have one or more of the SolrCloud 'bootstrap' options on the startup commandline. The bootstrap options are intended to be used once, in order to bootstrap from a non-SolrCloud setup to a SolrCloud setup. Between the Collections API and the CoreAdmin API, you should never need to edit solr.xml (if using the pre-4.4 format) or core.properties files (if using core discovery, available 4.4 and later) directly.
