vcenter vm hardware parallel: disconnect

Disconnects a virtual parallel port of a powered-on virtual machine from its backing. The virtual device is still present and its backing configuration is unchanged, but from the perspective of the guest operating system, the parallel port is not connected to its backing.

For a powered-off virtual machine, the update operation may be used to configure the virtual parallel port to start in the disconnected state when the virtual machine is powered on.
