In short, you need to remove all the dependencies before shutting down servers.

- Removing HA (DAG), move all mailboxes to server that will be active

- Move all Frontend settings to server that will be active

- Make sure those servers are not meant to send out emails in sender connector

- No DNS records present for those servers, like webmail, mail, autodiscover.

    Hello

        I just list some document and i think do that these step below

        the first time remove member server in F5 load balancing after that

           1. Check

    Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Server MBXV01

    2. Active All Database to site dr

    3. Run Get-ClusterGroup  and   Move-ClusterGroup –cluster DAG –name “Cluster Group” –node MBXServerDR

    4. After that you could run to check

    Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Status -Identity DAG | fl name,primaryActiveManager

             5. Then, run Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity DAG -MailboxServe MBX01 (for all mailbox in DC)

             

              6. Power off each of Exchange server in DC 

            Thanks
