There are ways to deactivate OSTs, but those are intended to stop creation of 
new file objects on those OSTs and don’t actually stop writes to existing 
files.  I don’t think that mounting OSTs read-only  (with “mount -t lustre -o 
ro …”) works because Lustre updates some info when it mounts the target (but 
this might be based on old info so I could be wrong).  You could remount all 
the clients read-only, but I don’t know if this is practical for you.

The only other option I can think of would be if there was a client-side 
parameter that could be set via “lctl conf_param” that might cause the clients 
to treat all the targets as read-only.  But if there is such a parameter, I am 
not familiar with it.
