Fundraising Server Decommissioning

This procedure is intended to dovetail with Server_Lifecycle and Phabricator Server Decommissioning Request form, but since Fundraising servers are in a separate environment many of the steps on the Phabricator form do not apply.

create a Phabricator task using the Server Decommissioning Request form
migrate all activity and data off the server
remove the server from monitoring by merging an update to (production) puppet/modules/icinga/templates/nsca_frack.cfg.erb
remove the server from (frack) puppet
power off the server via management interface
remove the server from DNS
update Netbox server Status from "active" to "decommissioning"
log into cumin and run the appropriate cookbook

sudo secure-cookbook sre.dns.netbox -t <phab task> "Remove host <fqdn> from DNS for decommissioning"

update the Phabricator decommissioning task and reassign it according to the form instructions
