I think you can also use "

bypass_upon_asm_down
" system variable under Advnaced Configuration of ASM. Change the variable value from 0 to 1.

Here is the document for the same. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/000/sol15093.html

Then you can stop the ASM from CLI. 

bigstart stop asm

If you have F5 in HA pair. Follow this exercise on Standby unit first, and failover to the Standby unit by making it active.

Hope this helps.
