There is no way for UI to tell it's oss build or non-oss build.
However, I just checked in an UI enhancement to skip calling listVmwareDcs API if a zone doesn't have any VMware cluster(s).

The command is only available in non-oss build, but is still listed in command.properties, as there is no separate file for commands non-oss build.

It's by design, the vm snapshot is listed under vm->vm snapshot view, while the volume snapshot listed under storage->snapshot view.
