SolrCloud on different machines

I have setup a Solr cloud on two machines, I created a collection collection1 and split it into two shards with 2 replica's, I added my other Solr machine to the cloud and in the Solr admin page in cloud->tree->live nodes, I can see 4 live, which includes the last Solr instance launched, but I can see my shards are running on the same machine just on different ports, even replica is still showing the leader address.

Now I want to shift the replica to the newly launched Solr instance or just put the entire shard 1 or 2 on the other machines.

I have tried searching about it, but nothing tells me the exact commands.

This question is rather old, but for the sake of completeness:

  1. In the Solr UI goto Collections
  2. Select your collection
  3. Click on the shards on the right side
  4. Click add replica
  5. Choose your new node as the target node
  6. Wait for the replica to be ready (watch in Cloud > Graph)
  7. Back in the shards list, delete the old replica
  8. If the old replica was the leader, a leader election will be triggered automatically.
