1. set the org.apache.geronimo.server.name system property to the instance name before you start the server.  Use the syntax -Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=foo to name your instance foo.   Add this to your GERONIMO_OPTS environment variable, or pass it on the java command-line invocation of the server.  The server's var directory will then be in GERONIMO<geronimo_HOMEhome>/foo.  org.apache.geronimo.server.name may be any pathname relative to (descending from) GERONIMO<geronimo_HOMEhome>.  The org.apache.geronimo.server.dir system property may also be used, and it overrides org.apache.geronimo.server.name.  Use rg.apache.geronimo.server.name to specify an absolute path, which need not be relative to GERONIMO<geronimo_HOMEhome>. 
   Otherwise, the two system properties behave the same.
2. mkdir foo
3. Copy var to foo.
4. Start the server.
