ability to disable or set to offline endpoints in origin pool
Currently I have to delete a member from the origin pool when I want to take it out of service. We are wanting to migrate from Big-IP to F5 XC and I want to have the ability like I have in Big-IP to take a member out of the pool without deleting and re-configuring it later. There does not seem to be a disable or off-line setting for members in a load balancing origin pool.

We also need the ability to support active/standby servers. Current solution seems to treat all origin pools, and their health checks, as always active in the load balancer. This seems to be true even if the weight/priority of the standby original pool is adjusted to try to place it in a low priority/disabled state. Health check for the standby server seems to still be treated as active even when the weight on it's respective origin pool is set to 0.
Also need this to support patching/upgrades. Need to be able to temporarily divert traffic away from a particular node for a time period to allow is to do maintenance.
