Replica from 4.2 to 4.8

[Roberto Cornacchia]

Hi,

I currently have a single 4.2.4 server.

I would like to create a replica with 4.8 and later decommission the 4.2
server.

I had tested the procedure a while ago, from 4.2 to 4.6. I had created a
replica package from the old instance, and used it with ipa-replica-install
to create the new one.

However, I see that 4.8 no longer supports level 0. Does this mean I cannot
do this replica in one go? I also see that ipa-replica-install does not
accept the replica package in input. So I suppose it only supports the
upgrade to master of an existing client.

What is the best route for my 4.2 -> 4.8 replica?

Thanks,
Roberto
