6. Create collections

Create SolrCloud collections

You can create collections using different approaches. The easiest one is to use Solr Web UI for that. See more information in the Documentation

Another approach is to use web requests with appropriate parameters, for example:

https://10.1.10.4:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=sitecore_core_index_web&numShards=1&replicationFactor=3&collection.configName=sitecoreconfig

Note: please pay attention, that for xDB and xDB_rebuild indexes you need to use basic index configuration and also apply schema changes. See more information in following article
