If you can get to the IP addresses from your application, then there's probably a way... Do you mean you're firewalled off or in some other way unable to access the Solr box IP's from your Java application?
If you're looking to do "automated build of virtual machines" there are some tools like Vagrant... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrant_(software) Also, you probably don't need to be directly on one of the 'official" SOLR machines to load the configs. I haven't tested, but as long as you have the configs and a VM or server running SOLR, you could do this yourself. The following command (as far as I've been able to tell) ONLY creates the conf "directory" in Zookeeper... nothing else... And, as a matter of fact, I'm almost positive SOLR did not need to be running when I did this, but I did so many variations while trying to figure out how to bring up a new 5.4 collection that I'm not positive - I could be totally wrong on that one. My point is that I uploaded the configs from a machine that had no collection yet... it worked fine to set up then configs in Zookeeper. Later, I issued the create collection command and referenced the config in Zookeeper with the -n(?) flag... sudo /opt/solr/server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -cmd upconfig -confdir /home/john/conf/ -confname statdx -z 192.168.56.5/solr5_4 On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 3:26 PM, Don Bosco Durai <bo...@apache.org> wrote: > I have SolrCloud pre-installed.
