What is a characteristic of pointer-based virtual replication?

A.
Replica is immediately available after activation of a replication session

B.
Replica device is at least as large as the source device

C.
Replica is available only after detachment from the source

D.
Source does not need to be healthy for the restore

Explanation:
Pointer-based Virtual Replication
In pointer-based virtual replication, at the time of the replication session activation, the target
contains pointers to the location of the data on the source. The target does not contain data at any
time. Therefore, the target is known as a virtual replica. Similar to pointer-based full-volume
replication, the target is immediately accessible after the replication session activation. This
replication method uses CoFW technology and typically recommended when the changes to the
source are less than 30%.
