govc vm.change - How to use to change virtual machine Guest OS Family (Other / Windows / Linux) and Guest OS Version.

[asaramago]

I would like to change a VMs Guest OS to: Linux ; Other 5.x or later Linux (64-bit).
But I keep getting errors:
root@govclab:/home/as# govc vm.change -vm /govc-lab-dc/vm/govc/testvm -g=Linux
govc: A specified parameter was not correct: configSpec.guestId (Reconfiguring Virtual Machine on destination host)
root@govclab:/home/as# govc vm.change -vm /govc-lab-dc/vm/govc/testvm -g=<Other 5.x or later Linux (64-bit)>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token (' root@govclab:/home/as# govc vm.change -vm /govc-lab-dc/vm/govc/testvm -g=<'Other 5.x or later Linux (64-bit)'> bash: syntax error near unexpected token newline'

Any help / hints are appreciated.

Thanks!

So, I was able to help myself... :).
After checking, via PowerCLI the several options to define the GuestOS parameters:
PS C:\Users\user> [System.Enum]::GetNames([VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier])

This lists out all the possibilities accepted on the currently connnected vCenter system.
I've used 'other5xLinux64Guest':
govc vm.change -vm /govc-lab-dc/vm/govc/testvm -g="other5xLinux64Guest"
