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 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 , see sample output below.
C:\>symdev show 03C3
Symmetrix ID: 000190101235
Device Physical Name : Not Visible
Device Symmetrix Name : 03C3
Device Serial ID : N/A
Symmetrix ID : 000190101235
……………….., ……………………, ……………
Device Configuration : RDF1+R-5 (Meta Head,
Non-Exclusive Access)
Device is WORM Enabled : No
Device is WORM Protected : No
SCSI-3 Persistent Reserve: Disabled
Dynamic Spare Invoked : No
Dynamic RDF Capability : RDF1_OR_RDF2_Capable

Hi Dimatsatsa,
Yes You can change the attributes of both R1 & R2 Devices, below command should work for you:
symconfigure -sid xxxx -cmd "set dev 1234 attribute=dyn_rdf;" preview
once preview validates to success then you can go for commit.
Martin explained things very clearly here in this post, thanks Martin.
Thanks,
