[support.osuosl.org #34471] Shutting down osgeo5 and osgeo6

[vicky@erosion.dev via RT]

Hello Lance

Please go ahead to shutdown osgeo5 (backup) and wipe the disk and send it
to surplus

Also osgeo6 can be shut down. The disks can be wiped and removed.
We are currently looking for the appropriate disks for osgeo6.
Maybe remove the disks when you install the new ones.

Regards
Vicky
