Vmware tools on Linux without X

Hi,

I want to pass attributes to my Linux VM from the vmx file. I read a way this could be achieved is using vmware tools. I have an entry in my vmx file guestinfo.hypervisor.role = "abc"

I was trying to read this from the VM using the vmtoolsd info-get command.

However I keep getting no value found.

I then checked the VM summary on ESXi and saw that esxi reports that vmtools is not running.

My VM does not run X.

Is there a way to pass attributes to a VM given my configuration?

I am running RHEL 6.2 & ESXi 5.0

Thanks
