set/get guestinfo - it's possible with ESXi 5.0.0?

Hi,

    I would like to know if i can set some entry in "guestinfo" for my VMs directly in ESXi 5.0.0. it's possible?

eg: I mean something like

#!/bin/bash

vmdumper -l | while read data; do {

     eval "$data"

     cmd_set  guestinfo.displayName  "$displayName"

} done

// im not interested in using remote solutions... and prefer local solution, using some ESXi commands.

// because i would like to recover "guestinfo.displayName" in my Linux/VM using vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.displayName"
