The attributes dyn_rdf, dyn_rdf1, dyn_rdf2 can be assigned to a device after device creation.
Create a command file containing the following syntax:
set device SymDevName attribute=device_attr;
Where SymDevName is the name of the Symmetrix device being altered and device_attr is the attribute being assigned to the device.
Possible values for device_attr are:

Unless this is on a VMax 10K. For the RDF attribute to be changed will require a BIN file update. With SRDF/DRDF enabled on a VMax 10K, all new devices get the attribute.
