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_home>/foo.  org.apache.geronimo.server.name may be any pathname relative to (descending from) <geronimo_home>.  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_home>.
     Otherwise, the two system properties behave the same.
2. mkdir foo
3. Copy var to foo.
4. Start the server.

   Multiple Repositories

First, we consider the case single server instance case, and just add a second repository.  Say we want to leave Geronimo in its repository, but add a second repository to deploy our applications. Adding a second repository is pretty easy. 1.     Create

1. Create a plan (say repo2.xml) for your repository module.

<module xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2">
 <environment>
  <moduleId>
   <groupId>org.example.configs</groupId>
    <artifactId>myrepo</artifactId>
    <version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <type>car</type>
  </moduleId>
 <dependencies>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.configs</groupId>
   <artifactId>j2ee-system</artifactId>
   <version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
   <type>car</type>
</dependency>
 </dependencies>
 <hidden-classes/>
 <non-overridable-classes/>
</environment>
 <\!--Repository-->
 <gbean name="Repo2" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.repository.Maven2Repository">
   <attribute name="root">repo2/</attribute>
   <reference name="ServerInfo">
    <name>ServerInfo</name>
   </reference>
 </gbean>

  <\!--Configuration Store service-->
  <gbean name="Local2" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.configuration.RepositoryConfigurationStore">
    <reference name="Repository">
     <name>Repo2</name>
    </reference>
  </gbean>
</module>

1. Create the repository's root directory.

...

1. mkdir <geronimo_home>/repo2
   1. The directory is specified by the root attribute of the Maven2Repository GBean, repo2/ in the above example.  It is a path relative to the base directory

...

1. 1. <geronimo_

...

1. 1. home>.

...

...

1. 1. A resolveToServer attribute is being added to allow this path to be relative to baseServer, which is useful with multiple server instances.

1. Deploy the repository module by deploying repo2.xml.

Using the new repository is a little tricky, and is only supported from the command line currently. The essence is to use the --targets option of the deploy command to target your module to deploy in your new repository. First, use the deployer list-targets command to see the repositories.  The target names are long and cumbersome:
