Solr 5.0: Unable to start Solr with Zookeeper Ensemble

Question

I have 3 Zookeeper servers running at server1:2181, server2:2181 and server3:2181.

I want to start 4 Solr servers at server1:8983,server2:8983,server3:8983 and server4:8983 to point to Zookeeper Ensemble above. So at server1, I run a command:

bin>solr -c -z server1:2181,server2:2181,server3:2181 -m 2g

and I received an error message:

Missing operand.
Invalid command-line option: server2:2181
Usage:.........

but if I point to one Zookeeper server such as:

bin>solr -c -z server1:2181 -m 2g

it starts successfully.

All server running in Windows.

What did I do wrong? Or does the Solr start script in Windows have an error?

You need to put your zk connection string in quotes.
