For both Geronimo javaee6 and minimal release bundles, you can only safely run multiple instance by completely copying the server folder to another, and start a 2nd instance after changing its portOffset value.

For the Geronimo javaee6 release bundles, a patch applied on September 23, 2011 (See GERONIMO-5987) fixes an issue with ActiveMQ that previously prevented Geronimo javaee6 from running multiple instances. Though multiple instances of Geronimo javaee6 can now be started, it is still undergoing testing in scenarios following this documentation. And several issues are identified in GERONIMO-6174 and GERONIMO-6175. Refer to GERONIMO-5987 for proper startup procedures.

There should not be a problem to run multiple instance of the Geronimo javaee6 bundle by completely copying the server folder to another, and start a 2nd instance after changing its portOffset value.

There are currently no known issues with the Geronimo minimal release bundle running multiple instances (it does not package nor implement the ActiveMQ service)Though it is possible to startup multiple instances of the Geronimo minimal release, the known issues to do so safely are shared with those identified in GERONIMO-6174 and GERONIMO-6175. And similarly, refer to GERONIMO-5987 for proper startup procedures.
