You need to disable the VS or display a sorry page?

  1. If you disable de VS, new connections will be rejected.

  2. (I do this way) Did you posted your sorry page on bigip iFile and the VS is in standard L7?

    a. Import an iFile in the menu System >> File Management >> iFile List

    b. Provide an iFile name with previous imported file in then menu Local Traffic >> iRules >> iFile List

The iRule in standard L7 VS:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "sorryPageName"] "Content-Type" "text/html"
}

The new connections will not follow to the backend servers; Regards.
