[OpenAFS] another set of eyes (or three)

How many dbservers do you have?  If there are at least three, you can take 
one down without loss of quorum.  Unless the machine will be out of service 
for such a long time that you will reconfigure clients, there is no real 
point in removing it from the server-side CellServDB.


Overall, the plan looks workable to me.  Preserving the vice partitions 
across the reimage should not pose any particular problems.


It's possible I missed this part, but you'll want to somehow make sure the 
AFS KeyFile is installed on the reimaged machine.

Provided you have installed the KeyFile and UserList before starting 
anything up, there is no reason you should need to run anything in noauth 
mode -- that is really only for setting up a new cell where you don't have 
the infrastructure (Kerberos principals, PTS entries, etc) to authenticate 
to a new cell.
