Teardown
Reverse of deployment. Back up configs first, while everything is still powered and reachable.
Step 1 — Back up all configs
Configs are saved to ansible/backups/<date>/. Commit them before anything is powered off.
Step 2 — ISO containers
All containers are independent — power them down in parallel or sequentially as crew allows.
Repeat for each container (ISO-01 through ISO-08):
- Disconnect user devices and printers from container switch
- Power off AP (
ap-iso-XX) — or simply let it drop when switch loses power - Power off container switch (
sw-iso-XX) - Disconnect and coil cable run, label and bag
Step 3 — End-user services
- Disconnect all display cables from video matrix (label each)
- Power off video matrix
- Remove and bag printers
Step 4 — Comms tent / core network
- Disconnect all container cable runs from distribution switch
- Power off distribution switch (
dist-sw-01) - Power off core switch (
core-sw-01) - Disconnect WAN uplinks (Starlink, CTE handoff, dongle)
- Power off firewall (
fw-01) - Power off UPS / PDUs
- De-rack equipment
Step 5 — Post-teardown checklist
- Configs backed up and committed to version control
- Equipment inventory reconciled against
data/devices.yaml - Any IP or config changes updated in
data/ - Cable runs all accounted for
