Hello Folks.

I am new here, so bare with me if I am posting this on wrong forum or I am missing some guide lines.
It's been almost 1 year that I installed TrueNAS on 2 servers (SAN1 and SAN2) and connected the 1st server (SAN1) to my VMware VSphere.
I configured the SAN1 with periodic snapshots and to replicate to SAN2.

Everything is working perfectly and I am very happy with it.
However, last week I have 1 VM that I configured with Fault Tolerance on VMware, and since then, TrueNAS is not able to snapshot that VM.

I want to know if that is normal or not. If it's normal that a FT VM can't be snapshoted, how can I take it off of the snapshot process runned by TrueNAS?
Also, if possible, can someone explain me the process to get back the infra online if the SAN1 fail? I didn't tested it to the end, but the test I did was to setup a new TrueNAS server, connect it to SAN2 and then restore the replication to the new server. Is there a better/faster way to get all the VMs up and running?

Thank you.
