Yes, this is exactly what I experienced as well in the past :-) The alarms should not be raised, but sometimes they are... Probably the safest way to remove a node without getting a ticket is to do the following: set downtime for a node, then disable monitoring for this node in GOCDB (I am not sure if this is possible now, there were some changes regarding this, and GOCDB is again not working, so I cannot check), wait that the node is really not monitored, then remove it from sBDII, and then from GOCDB. Probably this should be simplified, and documented somewhere...
