You can disable BranchCache on the storage virtual machine (SVM) if you temporarily do not want to offer caching services on that SVM. You can easily offer caching services again in the future by enabling BranchCache on the SVM.
Disabling or enabling BranchCache
You can disable BranchCache on the storage virtual machine (SVM) by changing the BranchCache operating mode to disabled. You can enable BranchCache at any time by changing the operating mode to either offer BranchCache services per-share or automatically for all shares.
