The machines part may have been a bit misleading. I am sorry for that. What I actually meant was shards. Now, you can have multiple shards hosted on a single machine or multiple machines as in the example I gave.
"I have to make sure that all those machines have solr server or gateway should be deplyed ?" Yes you do need a solr process running on all machines on which you plan to distribute your index. "And what multiple JVM processes run behind a solr server running?" If you mean how many jvms are running for a solr server, the answer's 1. "then what is a solr instance?" One solr process on your machine.
