label string Device label.

backing backing_info Physical resource backing for the virtual parallel port.

state string Connection status of the virtual device.

Defines the valid states for a removable device that is configured to be connected. Value is one of:
CONNECTED: The device is connected and working correctly.
RECOVERABLE_ERROR: Device connection failed due to a recoverable error; for example, the virtual device backing is currently in use by another virtual machine.
UNRECOVERABLE_ERROR: Device connection failed due to an unrecoverable error; for example, the virtual device backing does not exist.
NOT_CONNECTED: The device is not connected.
UNKNOWN: The device status is unknown.

start_connected boolean Flag indicating whether the virtual device should be connected whenever the virtual machine is powered on.

allow_guest_control boolean Flag indicating whether the guest can connect and disconnect the device.
