Hah, D is clearly just the opposite of what you'd want. Terminating existing connections? That's a recipe for chaos!

I agree with Annalee, putting the appliance into FORCED_OFFLINE state will help maintain existing connections and reduce the CPU load.

I'm not so sure about that. B looks like it would allow new connections, which is what you'd want during maintenance, right?
