+    <para>In case the snapshot model of VirtualBox is not sufficient
+    it is possible to enable a special mode which makes it possible to
+    reconfigure storage attachments while the VM is paused.
+    The user has to make sure that the disk data stays consistent to the guest
+    because unlike with hotplugging the guest is not informed about detached
+    or newly attached media.</para>
+    <para>The expert storage management mode can be enabled per VM executing:</para>
+    <screen>VBoxManage setextradata vmname "VBoxInternal2/SilentReconfigureWhilePaused" 1
+</screen>
+    <para>Storage attachments can be reconfigured while the VM is paused afterwards using:</para>
