Thanks for your reply.
Actually I am following the official guide to start solr using (on Windows machines) bin/solr start -e cloud -z zk1:2181,zk2:2182,zk3:2183 (it is listed here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Setting+Up+an+External+ZooKeeper+Ensemble ) However, I am facing 2 issues 1) If I specify the full list of ensemble (even with quotes around -z "zk1:2181,zk2:2182,zk3:2183") it does not start Solr on port 8983 2) Then I tried the workaround, which is specifying "localhost" on each Solr server to consult its local Zookeeper instance that is part of the ensemble, which worked as follows bin/solr start -e cloud -z localhost:2181(on each machine that has zookeeper as well) I followed the wizard (on each machine) to create 2 shards on 2 ports and 2 replicas. For the first machine I created "test" collection, but for the second one I just reused the same collection. Now, Solr works on both machines but the issue is that when I see Solr admin page, it shows all the shards and replicas of the collection on ONE MACHINE. Any ideas why I am facing these issues?
