Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply.
I am struggling a bit here. Sorry if these are basic questions! I can't find the answers anywhere. I modified my solr.xml on all boxes to comment out the core definition for 'tp'. Then, I used /admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=tp&numShards=1 against one of the boxes. That created 'shard1' for the tp index. (1) It named the dir 'tp_shard1_replica1' (2) The core seems to be using the same config as the bn core (3) I am unable to create a similar core on the other boxes. When I use replicationFactor=5, it creates replicas of the index on the other boxes. Can I then copy a pre-existing LCN index into the data/index directory and have it replicate to the other boxes? Thanks!

The correct approach would be to use thew Collections API - then it is quite simple to change the number of shards for each collection you create. Hopefully our examples will move to doing this before long. - Mark On Nov 15, 2013, at 11:47 AM, Beale, Jim (US-KOP) <jim.be...@hibu.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I am trying to set up a SolrCloud deployment consisting of 5 boxes each of > which is running Solr under jetty.
