Best Way to Temporarily Disable Pool?

I have a server on latest Scale with two pools.

But, I really only need one of them online for the foreseeable future. So, I'd like to disconnect the barely used one. I'd like to do this in a non-destructive way that would allow me to not have a bunch of missing pool errors and also still be able to connect it and power it back up later if/when it's needed.

Is it possible to do that? If so, what is the safe/best-practice way?

Should be able to just remove it through the GUI. Naturally you won't want to check the box to destroy your data on it when you do so.

Ok. Thank you.

So:

1) "Remove Pool", "no" to destroy data.
2) Power down server, disconnect pool drives, power back on.

It won't lose track of the drives after disconnecting?
