Viewing the Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS Logs This topic contains information about locating and reviewing Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS event logs in order to troubleshoot. Viewing Rapid NFS Logs The Rapid NFS log is located at /var/log/rdnfs.log. Statistics, throughput, and the plug-in version can be seen on the client 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] The configuration file is located /etc/oca.0/rdnfs.cfg. Viewing Rapid CIFS Logs If you want a high-level view of events and errors for the Rapid CIFS accelerator, open the Windows Event Log. If you want to view more detailed event messages from Rapid CIFS, you can access a secondary log using the following Rapid CIFS utility command. The utility is located in Program Files\Dell\Rapid CIFS. rdcifsctl.exe -collect Monitoring Performance This procedure describes how to monitor performance by viewing Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS usage graphs. Before you view usage graphs, make sure that the appropriate accelerator is active by viewing the Connection Configuration pane on the Container Statistics page. To monitor Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS performance: 1. Click Dashboard, and then click Usage. 2. Select a time range (if needed) and click Apply. 3. Click the Protocols tab. Under NFS Usage and CIFS Usage, there is an XWrite checkbox. This checkbox represents the accelerator activity. 4. In the desired usage graph pane, select the XWrite checkbox 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 114

Viewing the Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS Logs
This topic contains information about locating and reviewing Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS event logs in order to
troubleshoot.
Viewing Rapid NFS Logs
The Rapid NFS log is located at /var/log/rdnfs.log. Statistics, throughput, and the plug-in version can be seen on the
client 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]
The configuration file is located /etc/oca.0/rdnfs.cfg.
Viewing Rapid CIFS Logs
If you want a high-level view of events and errors for the Rapid CIFS accelerator, open the Windows Event Log.
If you want to view more detailed event messages from Rapid CIFS, you can access a secondary log using the following
Rapid CIFS utility command. The utility is located in Program Files\Dell\Rapid CIFS.
rdcifsctl.exe -collect
Monitoring Performance
This procedure describes how to monitor performance by viewing Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS usage graphs.
Before you view usage graphs, make sure that the appropriate accelerator is active by viewing the
Connection
Configuration
pane on the
Container Statistics
page.
To monitor Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS performance:
1.
Click
Dashboard
, and then click
Usage
.
2.
Select a time range (if needed) and click
Apply
.
3.
Click the
Protocols
tab.
Under
NFS Usage
and
CIFS Usage
, there is an
XWrite
checkbox. This checkbox represents the accelerator activity.
4.
In the desired usage graph pane, select the
XWrite
checkbox 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
