You are installing Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM). During the installation, the database backup procedure failed and the installation was interrupted. What should you verify?

Question

Options

• AIf the HiRDB is corrupt.
• BIf the HDvM Backup service is running.
• CIf the installation media is corrupt.
• DIf there is enough disk space on the backup destination.

• A

• B
  12% (6)
• C
  8% (4)
• D
  78% (39)

Explanation

When HDvM's database backup procedure fails during installation, the most likely culprit is insufficient disk space at the backup destination (D). HDvM automatically backs up the existing HiRDB database before upgrading, and if the target drive lacks space, the backup cannot complete, causing the installation to abort - this is a documented, common failure point in Hitachi's installation workflow.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (HiRDB corruption): The backup failing doesn't indicate HiRDB is corrupt - it means the backup process couldn't finish, not that the source data is bad.
• B (HDvM Backup service): There is no standalone "HDvM Backup service" involved in the installation backup step; the installer itself handles the backup.
• C (Corrupt installation media): Media corruption would cause the installer itself to fail or produce checksum errors, not specifically a backup procedure failure.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - a backup fails when it has nowhere to go. "Backup destination = disk space" is the classic troubleshooting first step for any backup failure, whether in HDvM or any other enterprise software. If the backup can't write, the install won't proceed.
