storage-attach id different from the vagrant customisation id - ruby

Question

I am using vagrant and ubuntu16.04 .
When i ran vagrant up i got the error as
A customization command failed:
["storageattach", :id, "--storagectl", "IDE Controller", "--port", 1, "--device", 0, "--type", "hdd", "--medium", "server.vdi"]
The following error was experienced:
#<Vagrant::Errors::VBoxManageError: There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["storageattach", "538c4e03-f4ea-4adf-af6e-02d303d56f13", "--storagectl", "IDE Controller", "--port", "1", "--device", "0", "--type", "hdd", "--medium", "server.vdi"]
Stderr: VBoxManage: error: Could not find a controller named 'IDE Controller'
>
Please fix this customization and try again.
There seems to be conflict between the id generated by script and virtualbox machines one.
My Vagrant file is

VBoxManage list vms
gives output as
