Looking on the logs of the other server, I see this: SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: I was asked to wait on state recovering for 192.168.1.155:8983_solr but I still do not see the requested state. I see state: active live:true at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminHandler.handleWaitForStateAction(CoreAdminHandler.java:890) at org.apache.solr.handler.admin.CoreAdminHandler.handleRequestBody(CoreAdminHandler.java:186) at org.apache.solr.handler.RequestHandlerBase.handleRequest(RequestHandlerBase.java:135) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.handleAdminRequest(SolrDispatchFilter.java:591) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:192) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:141)

There is a setShardID method on the class that you are using. I believe this would typically get something like "shard1" as a value. The user that runs Solr must typically have write permissions to the solr home and all of its descendants. Note that with the CoreAdminRequest class, you are not creating a collection. You are creating a core. If you want to create an entire collection (which will typically create at least two cores on different Solr instances), you need to use CollectionAdminRequest instead. https://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_8_0/solr-solrj/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/request/CollectionAdminRequest.Create.html http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTerminology Thanks, Shawn
