Taking a plex offline
A plex can either be in an online state or in an offline state. When a plex is offline, it is not available for read or write access. You can use the Aggregate window to take a plex offline.
Before you begin 
The plex must be part of a mirrored aggregate and both plexes must be online.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
In the navigation pane, click Storage > Aggregates.
3.
Select the appropriate mirrored aggregate and click Plexes in the lower pane.
4.
Select the plex you want to take offline and click Offline.
5.
Select the confirmation check box and click Offline.
