Starting local standalone instances from admin console

Playing around with standalone instances.

I created a new CONFIG instance on the local node (named thupa). Then I
tried to start it.

The error message in the admin console says:

Could not start instance thupa on node localhost-jx (localhost). Command
failed on node localhost-jx (localhost): CLI801 Instance is already
synchronized Command start-local-instance failed. Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 The Master Password is required to start the domain.
No console, no prompting possible. You should either create the domain with
--savemasterpassword=true or provide a password file with the
--passwordfile option. To complete this operation run the following command
locally on host localhost from the GlassFish install location
/usr/local/glassfish-3.1.2b23: bin/asadmin start-local-instance --node
localhost-jx --sync normal thupa

I understand basically what this is telling me. But does that mean that it
is impossible to start a CONFIG instance on the local node from the admin
console?

Best,
Laird
