1. Create new Disk-Image with given size (--remember does not always work, don't know why):
VBoxManage createhd –-filename NewDisk.vmdk --size 30000 --remember
2. Clone old Disk-Image in the new one:
VBoxManage clonehd OldDisk.vmdk NewDisk.vmdk --existing
3. Replace the old image with the new one:
VBoxManage modifyvm "My Virtual Machine" --hda none
VBoxManage modifyvm "My Virtual Machine" --hda NewDisk.vmdk
