You want to restore the HiRDB database on a Hitachi Command Suite (HCS) server. Which two operations should you perform? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AEdit the server. properties file to prepare the database synchronization.
• BOpen the Utility tab in the HCS GUI and select the Restore Database function.
• CRun the HiRDB backup/restore wizard and select the backup file to be restored.
• DUse the hcmdsdb /restore command to initiate the restore process.

• A
  84% (38)
• B
  11% (5)
• C
  4% (2)

Explanation

Restoring the HiRDB database on an HCS server follows a two-step command-line procedure: first, you must edit server.properties to configure database synchronization settings (Option A), then execute hcmdsdb /restore to actually perform the restore (Option D). These are the documented steps in Hitachi's official HCS administration procedures - the properties file prepares the environment, and the hcmdsdb command is the dedicated HCS database management utility that handles backup and restore operations.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option B is incorrect because no "Restore Database" function exists under a Utility tab in the HCS GUI - database restoration is a command-line operation, not a GUI workflow.
• Option C is incorrect because the HiRDB backup/restore wizard applies to standalone HiRDB database management, not to HCS-integrated database restoration, which uses the hcmdsdb utility specifically.

Memory tip: Think "Prepare, then Execute" - you always prepare the config file (server.properties) before you execute the restore command (hcmdsdb /restore). If an answer involves a GUI wizard for this type of task, it's almost always a distractor, as HCS database operations are CLI-driven.
