If you have Rapid NFS enabled, you can use the command line to view statistics, throughput, and the plug-in version by running the ru utility on the client, as follows:

ru --mpt=[rdnfs mount point] | --pid=[process ID of rdnfs] --show=[name|version|parameters|stats|performance]

If you have Rapid CIFS enabled, you can use the command line to view aggregate statistics (even while a backup job is running) using the following command:

\Program Files\Dell\Rapid CIFS\rdcifsctl.exe stats -s

Uninstalling the Rapid NFS Plug-In

Uninstalling the Rapid NFS Plug-In

Use the following procedure to remove the Dell Rapid NFS plug-in from a Linux-based media server. After you uninstall the plug-in, Rapid NFS will be disabled and “inactive” will be shown next to NFS Write Accelerator on the NFS Connection Configuration pane on the Container Statistics page.

NOTE: Dell recommends that you retain the Dell Rapid NFS plug-in installer on the media server in case you need to use it to reinstall the plug-in. It is usually located in /opt/dell/DR-series/RDNFS/scripts.

To uninstall the Rapid NFS plug-in on Linux:

1.
Stop the Data Management Application (DMA) backup service before using the -uninstall option.
The Rapid NFS plug-in installer returns an error if the DMA service is running when attempting to uninstall the plug-in.
2.
Run the Rapid NFS plug-in installer (usually located in /opt/dell/DR-series/RDNFS/scripts) with the -uninstall option, which uninstalls the plug-in, using the following command:
$> ./DellRapidNFS-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -uninstall
 
NOTE: You must stop the DMA service before uninstalling the Rapid NFS plug-in (you are also required to use the Dell Rapid NFS plug-in installer to uninstall the plug-in).
3.
Check that the plug-in is uninstalled by viewing the usage graph in the GUI; it should not indicate any XWriteactivity.
