Changing the status of a volume
You can change the status of a FlexVol volume or an Infinite Volume when you want to take the volume offline, bring it back online, or restrict access to the volume. However, you cannot take a root volume offline.
Before you begin 
•
If you want a volume to be the target of a volume copy or a SnapMirror replication operation, the volume must be in restricted state.
•
For NAS volumes, the volume must be unmounted before you can take it offline.
About this task 
You can take a volume offline to perform maintenance on the volume, move it, or destroy it. When a volume is offline, it is unavailable for read or write access by clients.
