Ron, In our current environment I index all of our data on one machine, and to save time with "replication", I use scp to copy the data directory over to our other servers. On the server that I copy from, I don't turn SOLR off, but on the servers that I copy to, I shutdown tomcat; remove the data directory; mv the data directory I scp'd from the source; turn tomcat back on. I do it this way (especially with mv, versus cp) because it is the fastest way to get the data on the other servers. And, as Gora pointed out, you need to make sure that your configuration files match (specifically the schema.xml) the source. - Ken
