For all other controller types, this must be 0. type Device while the machine is running. In a VM’s default configuration of virtual machines, the secondary master of the IDE controller is used for a CD/DVD drive. After calling this returns successfully, a new port to attach the device to. This is only relevant for IDE con- trollers, for which 0 specifies the master device and 1 specifies the slave device.
