If you want to respond to all requests to a VIP with a static HTML message, you can use HTTP::respond in an iRule and just add the rule when the maintenance starts and remove it afterwards. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Send 200 response with some HTML and headers to prevent caching 
    HTTP::respond 200 content { 
       Site maintenance 
       Site down for maintenance
 
        
        
        
       } 
       Cache-Control: no-cache 
       Pragma: no-cache 
       Connection: close 
 }
