Actually, most of the changes would be in the dse.ldif TBH rather than the DB. But you could try it and see what happens 🤔?

Anyway, the best way to proceed IMO would be db2ldif on the 1.2 server, then ldif2db on the 2.2 server.

Then you need to compare both servers dse.ldif and bring over any plugin configs and indexes that were configured. Mostly that should get you to parity.

Then you can setup new replicas etc.

Hope that helps :)
