The two servers can share the same copy of the GlassFish system JARs - avoiding having to install two copies and keep two copies up-to-date:
asadmin create-domain --portbase 4900 domain2
The on-line help for create-domain is quite good. Use
asadmin create-domain --help
to read all about it. The value 4900 is just an example. You can provide whatever value you like that does not conflict with other software (including other GlassFish domains) that use ports on your system.
You can then start and stop each domain independently by name. You can operate on each domain separately - such as deploying apps to the domain you want - by specifying the correct --port portNumber setting on each asadmin command. See
asadmin help
to read about the options which apply to all asadmin commands.
Hope that helps.
