You can:
On both the local and remote Symmetrix, select the devices which are to become dynamic RDF and create script text file with syntax below:
set dev <Device#> attribute=dyn_rdf;
Here is a sample text:
###########################################
# Set Sym devices to DYN_RDF on DMX-3 1234#
# 31/03/2009 By David (see design Doc) #
###########################################
set dev 06A3 attribute=dyn_rdf;
set dev 06A4 attribute=dyn_rdf;
set dev 06A5 attribute=dyn_rdf;
set dev 06A6 attribute=dyn_rdf;
set dev 0904 attribute=dyn_rdf;
set dev 0905 attribute=dyn_rdf;
Make sure to set this attribute on remote devices also.
After created script text run symconfigure to preview and commit the change:
symconfigure -sid 1234 -f filename preview -v
symconfigure -sid 1234 -f filename prepare -v
symconfigure -sid 1234 -f filename commit -v
After the symconfigure complete successfully, you can validate if those devices attribute are set accordingly by running symdev list -dynamic command.
You can use symdev show <dev#>, see sample output below.
