David,
I think you must have forgotten something in the check-in. When I
attempt to create a new instance I get the following error from
gshell:
/> deploy/new-instance -n myserver1
ERROR NotFoundException: geronimo-commands:new-server-instance

This sounds really cool David! I'm hoping to give it a test drive

For a long time we've been talking about having an easy way to
create lots of server instances sharing the same geronimo
installation (GERONIMO-3123). After staring at the farm demo long
enough I realized that we could use almost the same technique to
"clone" a server instance as used to install the same plugins on
all the instances sharing a geronimo install.
The var directory was originally created by unpacking stuff out of
all the plugins installed in the server. So we can create a new
var directory for the new server instance by creating a ServerInfo
set up for the new instance (i.e. knowing where the server is,
i.e. the var directory), creating a PluginInstallerGBean around
it, and installing all the plugins that are installed on the
original server. After fixing a few bugs, this amounts to
unpacking the stuff out of all these plugins into the new var
directory.
This seems like a pretty elegant solution to me.
There's a new gshell command
deploy/new-instance -n server1
See GERONIMO-4382
