Yes, solr distribution will work for multiple solr instances even if they all use the same SOLR_HOME. All the distribution scripts have a command line argument for specifying the data directory. > > 2)Can i get some more information about how to start this rsyncd daemon > and > which is the best way of doing it i.e. to start during system reboot or > doing it manually? Please note that the rsyncd -CollectionDistributionScripts#head-1e6cdce516ecf1eb31bffceaccf2abeb72bdce81 So it is best to configure the master server to run the rsyncd-start script at system boot time. If the rsync daemon has for some reasons been disabled, it will not be started automatically at system reboot even if it is configured to do so. If rsyncd is started manually, then one will have to remember to start it every time the master server is rebooted. > > 3)Let me know if my understanding is correct.

Is it the Application server which > calls the Master SOLR Server > acts as slave server? Both the master and slave are SOLR servers. Typically they are on different machines. It doesn't make sense (at least not to me) to have both of them on the same machine. > > 4)I observe the file scripts.conf for master server: > solr_port=8983 > rsyncd_port=18983 > > +Enable and start rsync: > rsyncd-enable; rsyncd-start > +Run snapshooter: > snapshooter > > Just to confirm is it mandatory that the solr master server should have > the solr_port as 8983 only?

How to start rsyncd at system boot time and setup crontab to run snappuller and snapinstaller depends on the OS that Solr is running on. > > > > Regards, > Dilip TS > Starmark Services Pvt. Ltd. > >
