Redis sentinel - How to take a server out of loop?

From the docs about Redis Sentinel, under the chapter Adding or removing Sentinels:

Removing a Sentinel is a bit more complex: Sentinels never forget already seen Sentinels, even if they are not reachable for a long time, since we don't want to dynamically change the majority needed to authorize a failover and the creation of a new configuration number. So in order to remove a Sentinel the following steps should be performed in absence of network partitions:

1. Stop the Sentinel process of the Sentinel you want to remove.
2. Send a SENTINEL RESET * command to all the other Sentinel instances (instead of * you can use the exact master name if you want to reset just a single master). One after the other, waiting at least 30 seconds between instances.
3. Check that all the Sentinels agree about the number of Sentinels currently active, by inspecting the output of SENTINEL MASTER mastername of every Sentinel.

Further:

Removing the old master or unreachable slaves.

Sentinels never forget about slaves of a given master, even when they are unreachable for a long time. This is useful, because Sentinels should be able to correctly reconfigure a returning slave after a network partition or a failure event.

Moreover, after a failover, the failed over master is virtually added as a slave of the new master, this way it will be reconfigured to replicate with the new master as soon as it will be available again.

However sometimes you want to remove a slave (that may be the old master) forever from the list of slaves monitored by Sentinels.

In order to do this, you need to send a SENTINEL RESET mastername command to all the Sentinels: they'll refresh the list of slaves within the next 10 seconds, only adding the ones listed as correctly replicating from the current master INFO output.
