Didn't see an answer to this problem we had, so for documentation purposes, posting it here, in case someone else runs across it. Configuration server was Centos 5.11, multi-master with 3 more replicas and a Windows Sync agreement. (We're working on moving to RHDS, so this was "frozen" in production while trying to get that project moving.) >From the yum.log when the upgrade was committed: Apr 21 12:48:16 Updated: centos-ds-base-8.2.8-2.el5.centos.x86_64 Apr 21 12:48:18 Updated: centos-ds-admin-8.2.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64 Apr 21 12:48:18 Updated: centos-ds-console-8.2.0-4.el5.centos.noarch Apr 21 12:48:19 Updated: centos-ds-8.2.0-2.el5.centos.x86_64 Apr 21 12:48:44 Updated: centos-ds-base-8.2.8-2.el5.centos.x86_64 Just prior to upgrade: [21/Apr/2016:12:44:39 -0400] NSMMReplicationPlugin - Found replication agreement named "cn=ds0 to ds1, cn=replica, cn="dc=cise, dc=ufl, dc=edu", cn=mapping tree, cn=config".

Then renabled changelog, and re-set with multi-master (ds0/configuration server first), I also changed the replica numbers ... just in case. Re-initialized the replicas, and re-set up the Windows synchronization. After that, the logs are looking normally, and replication is again working.
