Hi,
You can upgrade both replicas at different time (and make sure that
everything work as expected before upgrading the second replica to ensure
service continuity)

Usually a simple dnf upgrade is enough but 3.1.3 requires some manual steps
because bdb databases needs to be mitigated to lmdb (as explained in
https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/howto/howto-migrate-bdb-to-lmdb.html)

BTW: since 3.0.6 supports both bdb and lmdb, you should probably better
migrate the database before upgrading (so you have a way back in case of
problem)

if I remember rightly, in 3.0 version, there were a few bugs about
displaying some alarming messages while running dsctl dblib bdb2mdb but as
far as you get the migration 100% completed message everything is fine

Regards,
  Pierre Rogier
