| 8 | In case the snapshot model of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is not sufficient it
|
|---|
| 9 | is possible to enable a special mode which makes it possible to
|
|---|
| 10 | reconfigure storage attachments while the VM is paused. The user
|
|---|
| 11 | has to make sure that the disk data stays consistent to the guest
|
|---|
| 12 | because unlike with hotplugging the guest is not informed about
|
|---|
| 13 | detached or newly attached media.

| 16 | The expert storage management mode can be enabled per VM
|
|---|
| 17 | executing:
|
|---|
| 18 | </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> "VBoxInternal2/SilentReconfigureWhilePaused" 1</pre>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p>
|
|---|
| 21 | You can reconfigure storage attachments later while the VM is
|
|---|
| 22 | paused by using the <userinput>VBoxManage storageattach</userinput>
|
|---|
| 23 | command.
