Device Groups
A device group (DG) is a user-defined group comprised of devices that belong to a
single Symmetrix array and a single RDF (RA) group. A control operation can be
performed on the group as a whole, or on the individual device pairs that comprise it.
By default, a device cannot belong to more than one device group and all of the STD
devices in a group must reside on the same Symmetrix array. However, if the
Symmetrix options file parameter SYMAPI_ALLOW_DEV_IN_MULT_GRPS is
enabled, a device can be added to multiple groups. You can use device groups to
identify and work with a subset of available Symmetrix devices; obtain configuration,
status, and performance statistics on a collection of related devices; or issue control
operations that apply to all devices in the specified device group.
2) you can run "symdg show

Hello,
The Solutions Enabler SYMCLI Command Reference 7.1.1 HTML Help will list each command and the operations you can run on the device groups.
This can be downloaded from powerlink, follow the menu path: Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ S ~ Documentation > Solutions Enabler
I hope this helps,
Regards,
