Bill's questions were somehow posted only on admin_at_glassfish alias.
Adding users alias here as well.

Spec, well a spec of sorts --
http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/gfwiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ProvidingClusterSupport2DeveloperDomains

Yes, any domain. The only requirement -- the domain must not already be
supporting clusters.

Yes. Actually, admin console is context-sensitive. It means the GUI
elements that
make sense only on cluster environment are shown only when clusters are
supported.
There is only a small window where this is not true at the moment --
- you upgrade the domain to support clusters and you are redirected to
the "restart" page.
- if you don't restart, then the button is still "clickable". But upon
clicking, it will say that
the domain already supports the clusters.
Users/Admins are expected to restart the domain upon adding the support.
