Per T176472. Host does not (and should not) hold anything important. Setting an arbitrary date for Oct 30th.

• remove from site.pp, DHCP, installer etc
• clean up puppet, salt
• poweroff
• removal of DNS
• removal of mgmt DNS
• disk wipe
• switchports port description and state
• update racktables

new checklist added 2018-03-14:

Copper is a very old, very outdated system slated for decommission.

• - all system services confirmed offline from production use
• - set all icinga checks to maint mode/disabled while reclaim/decommmission takes place.
• - remove system from all lvs/pybal active configuration
• - any service group puppet/heira/dsh config removed
• - remove site.pp (replace with role(spare::system) if system isn't shut down immediately during this process.)

START NON-INTERRUPPTABLE STEPS

• - disable puppet on host
• - power down host
• - disable switch port
• - switch port assignment noted on this task (for later removal) - asw-b-eqiad:ge-4/0/5
• - remove all remaining puppet references (include role::spare)
• - remove production dns entries
• - puppet node clean, puppet node deactivate

END NON-INTERRUPPTABLE STEPS

• - system disks wiped (by onsite)
• - IF DECOM: system unracked and decommissioned (by onsite), update racktables with result
• - IF DECOM: switch port configration removed from switch once system is unracked.
• - IF DECOM: add system to decommission tracking google sheet
• - IF DECOM: mgmt dns entries removed.
• - IF RECLAIM: system added back to spares tracking (by onsite)
