If you have already created the devices as RAID 5 and have enabled the dynamic RDF bit on both the devices. Then you can use Symrdf createpair command to create a pairing between these two.
In createpair command, there is an option -type R1|R2 which determines the side you want to use as R1 and R2.
For more details, refer to SRDF Product Guide.
Thanks,
Saurabh

my question was how to convert to RAID-5 device to RDF1-RAID5 .. I have managed to convert the dynamic capability to RDF1_OR_RDF2 capable thru SMC
But I can't convert the 'Device configuration' status to RDF1-RAID5 from RAID-5 on source array as well on target to RDF2-RAID5 from RAID-5.
please guide me how to convert it
cheers
