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
