Does Esxi storage support snapshots?

[maxim.sizonenko]

In Proxmox 8.4, the Esxi storage type appeared. But this type is not mentioned in the documentation:

• https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage
• https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html

Could you please tell me which values have Esxi for `Level`, `Shared`, and `Snapshots`?

This is a special type of storage used for the tool to import VMs from VMware https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migrate_to_Proxmox_VE#Automatic_Import_of_Full_VM

One can refer to this storage as "transitional". It is only used for migration and does not provide actual storage or any "proper" storage-associated features.
