I rename them to 'OLD-nodename', and rename them back if necessary (i.e., for restore). I kill/disable any services that they had that once talked to the TSM server. That's probably too simple, but you're looking for obviously distinguishable... :)

What are some other decommission procedures out there? I'm trying to find the best way to do this so the decommissioned nodes will be obviously distinguishable from the active nodes.
