Explanation

In Hitachi Device Manager, two legitimate alternatives to running a host scan are using the Host Data Collector (A) - a lightweight agent-less component that remotely collects host information and registers it in HDvM - and installing the HDvM Agent on the host (B), which allows the host to self-report its configuration directly to the HDvM server. Both methods actively discover and register host data without requiring a manual host scan.

Why C and D are wrong: There is no AddNewHost CLI command in the HDvM CLI toolkit - this is a fabricated distractor. Similarly, there is no "Import Hosts utility" as a standalone feature for this purpose in HDvM; host discovery relies on agents or collectors, not file-based imports.

Memory tip: Think of the two legitimate methods as push vs. pull - the HDvM Agent pushes data from the host, while the Host Data Collector pulls data remotely. If a choice sounds like a generic CLI command or a spreadsheet-style import, it's almost certainly a distractor in HDvM questions.
