ESXi 8.0.3 security scanning support form VMs with snapshots

Quote from the documentation:

Sentinel server with version 8.10 or higher can scan virtual machines on ESXi version 8.0.3. However, if those VMs have VMware snapshots, the host will not scan them. Sentinel server with version 8.9 or earlier can also scan virtual machines, but they cannot scan any VMs that have VMware snapshots, regardless of the ESXi version.

Because we have customer with the IBM Storage Sentinel 1.11 implementation who wants to scan the ESXi 8.0.3 workload with VMs with snapshots we would be gratefull if the avilability of scannig ESXi 8.0.3 VMs with snapshots would be added to the Sentinel security scan. Plus we have other possible customers with such issue-to-be.

It would be quite helpful to be able to scan VMs with the snapshots.

Plus it would be nice to have the description in the Sentinel documentation itself and not at the bottom of the page with the CDM limitations.
