So what is the procedure to remove a fileserver interface? 
Is it possible to do it without a file server restart?

My guess would be as follows:

I was thinking along the following lines:

Identify interface (yes, that one is real and I want to get rid of it)
$ host kelp-le.pdc.kth.se 
kelp-le.pdc.kth.se has address 194.132.192.13

# cat /usr/openafs/var/openafs/NetInfo 
130.237.232.193
194.132.192.13  <-remove

# /usr/openafs/sbin/vos listaddr -printuuid -noresolve

...
UUID: 00568830-b5fa-1561-96-cc-c1e8ed82aa77
130.237.232.193
194.132.192.13
...

Check that all volumes are on "kelp" and not "kelp-le":

# /usr/openafs/sbin/vos listvldb | grep kelp-le
*empty list*

What to do if the list is non-empty?

Now for the part that I have not done yet...

# /usr/openafs/sbin/vos changeaddr -oldaddr 194.132.192.13 -remove

After that hapens what? How long do the clients remember that there was
an interface 194.132.192.13 on uuid 00568830-b5fa-1561-96-cc-c1e8ed82aa77 ?

When can I safely shutdown that interface and remove that network?

I'd like to do this without needing to move all the volumes on kelp to
another server. I don't want any 30sec client timeouts either as that
probably makes the calculation jobs crash. I can run a command on all
clients to tell them to forget cached uuid to IP mappings if there is
such a command.

The involved versions here are a mix of 1.4.10 and 1.4.11.
