Configuring Rapid NFS For Rapid NFS to configure on Linux system we need to install plugin bin file, DellRapidNFS-xxxxx-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.The rpm after install looks like DellRapidNFS-310093.052425.x86_64. 1.

6.1
About the Rapid NFS plugin
Rapid NFS enables write operation acceleration on clients that use NFS file system protocols. These
accelerators allow for better coordination and integration between DR Series systems backup, restore, and
optimized duplication operations with Data Management Applications (DMAs) such as CommVault, EMC
Networker, and Tivoli Storage Manager. For the current list of supported DMAs, see the
Dell DR Series
System Interoperability Guide.
Rapid NFS is a client file system type that ensures that only unique data is written to the DR Series system.
It uses user space components and file system in user space (FUSE) to accomplish this. Metadata
operations such as file creates and permission changes go through the standard NFS protocol, whereas
write operations go through Rapid NFS.
6.2
Configuring Rapid NFS
For Rapid NFS to configure on Linux system we need to install plugin bin file,
DellRapidNFS-xxxxx-xxxxx-x86_64.bin.The rpm after install looks like DellRapidNFS-310093.0-
52425.x86_64.
1.
To mount as Rapid NFS:
mount
t rdnfs <ip address of DRXXXX>:/containers/sample
/mnt/RMANtargetContainer
2.
Verify the NFS share. One way is to try
using the Linux command “cat /proc/mounts”. The rsize
and wsize of the connects in the command output should be 512K.
