In the desired usage graph pane, select the XWritecheckbox to view the accelerator performance over time.

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 DR 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: You should retain the DR 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 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.
