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
