SolrCloud 5 and Zookeeper config upload

I'm in the middle of configuring SolrCloud with Zookeeper but I struggle to load the config on ZK.

Here my steps:

  1. Configure an ensemble of 3 ZK, I see 1 leader and 2 follower
  2. Configure a small cluster of 2 of SolrCloud that is started as followed /bin/solr start -c -z <ip1>:2181,<ip2>:2181,<ip3>:2181 -noprompt
  3. Then I tried to load the config on ZK using zkCli.sh: ./bin/zkCli.sh -zkhost <ip1>:2181,<ip2>:2181,<ip3>:2181 -cmd upconfig -confname config1 -confdir /folder/with/schema.xml (it come from solr standalone)
  4. Create Solr collection using API http://<solr_ip>:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=collection_test&numShards=2&replicationFactor=2&maxShardsPerNode=2
  5. Link the config to the collection using again zkCli.sh ./bin/zkCli.sh -zkhost 127.0.0.1:2181 -cmd linkconfig -collection collection_test -confname config1

At this point I should see the config loaded but nothing happens.

c.  OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.7.0_79

  3. Setup

    a.  Set JAVA_HOME
b.  In cl-solr1,cl-solr2,cl-solr3 create zoo.cfg file with below content at /opt/myname/zookeeper-3.4.6/conf
        tickTime=2000
        dataDir=/var/lib/zookeeper/data
        clientPort=2181
        initLimit=5
        syncLimit=2
        server.1=cl-solr1:2888:3888
        server.2=cl-solr2:2888:3888
        server.3=cl-solr3:2888:3888

    c. Create myid file for each zookeeper server cl-solr1, cl-solr2 & cl-solr3 using below command $mkdir -p /var/lib/zookeeper/data/ $echo 1 > /var/lib/zookeeper/data/myid --1 for cl-solr1 and 2 for cl-solr2 ..

  4. Start the zookeeper 

    a.  /opt/myname/zookeeper-3.4.6/bin/zkServer.sh start
