Feature Request: Standardized VIPRION upgrade procedure

Hello All,

Right now in order to upgrade a multiblade VIPRION system successfully, i need to use the clsh utility to copy the current configuration to the new volume on all slots as specified in the article below:

In case i just boot the VIPRION system to a newly installed volume from the web utility, the system always boots an older version of the configuration, which makes sense since the configuration is copied over when a new slot is activated. Subsequently, the configuration should be copied over manually. 

Could this procedure get automated for VIPRION systems and simply boot to a new volume from the configuration utility by just selecting the desired boot location?

Perhaps the guides below should be updated as well, since they descibe the procedure i just mentioned which for multiblade systems is incomplete.
