Specifying ZK_HOST in the solr.in.sh file works fine for me.
bq: running bin/solr start does not start up in cloud mode despite having
ZK_HOST set in /etc/default/solr.in.sh.
I don't think the startup script would even look in /etc/default for
solr.in.sh unless you've defined a "HOME" env variable pointing there.
And even then it needs to be a hidden file (the "." in
$HOME/.solr.in.sh). See the "CONTROLLING STARTUP" section in bin/solr:
# the following locations are searched in this order:
#
# ./
# $HOME/.solr.in.sh
# /usr/share/solr
# /usr/local/share/solr
# /var/solr/
# /opt/solr
(plus some other options...)
FYI:
bq: "bin/solr start-c -z xxx/solr makes no difference."
Unless you've made a typo the -z parameter requires the ZK ensemble,
not a Solr node. The -c is unnecessary when -z is specified BTW. The
-c will start an _internal_ zookeeper in the absence of a -z
parameter.....
Best,
