I'm not the person who posted that comment, but let's take a step back. I have scripts which do this for me. However, I also have automation that takes back ups of the systems, restores the systems on other virtual hosts, and verifies that the restores are up and running properly. In fact if you can script one, you can generally script all of those scenarios. For expanding database volumes, for example, I have a system which first monitors the size of my current database systems. If they get too large, it will create a new virtual which is bigger, restores a current backup of the running system to it, verify that, put it into rotation, make sure that all current data is replicated, then remove the old system. Frankly, doing this by hand would be highly error prone and dangerous. I say, script everything.
