 Creating a new core usually makes more sense than creating a copy of Solr, but if your index is too large to fit on a single server, you could also copy VuFind's Solr index and startup script to another server, and reconfigure your instance to point there (using the url setting in the [Index] section of [[configuration:files:config.ini]] and, if necessary, the solr.path = REMOTE and solr.hosturl settings of SolrMarc's import.properties file).
-It probably does not make sense to try to run two separate instances of Solr on a single server, but if you have a good reason to do this, refer to the old [[legacy:installation:installing_multiple_instances|VuFind 1.x multiple instances documentation]] for some tips; steps 4 and 6 there are still relevant.
 ===== Example shell transcript of setting up a new instance =====
 The following example creates a new instance called springfield, with a new Solr core, on server vufindserver as user libadmin.
