To be safe, back up all replicas (snapshot or whatnot) before the first upgrade and if you decide to restore any of them, be sure everything is shut down and restore all of them to avoid 4.x schema contaminating 3.0 as they come up.

 Will this excellent documentation work too on the migration from 3.0x
(rhel 6) to 4.1.x (rhel 7.1)?

I will be migrating the coming months to 7.1 or 7.2 (whichever is the
current stable then), so just wondering.

Thanks!
