Hi Aditya, You need to start another 6 instances (9 instances in total) to achieve this. The first 3 instances, as you mention, are already assigned to the 3 shards. The next 3 will be become their replicas, followed by the next 3 as the next replicas.
You could create two copies each of the example folder and start each one on a different jetty port.
