Migration is for moving from an LDAP system to IPA.

To move between major versions the recommended path is to create a new
master on the upgraded platform. Run them in tandem until you're
satisfied that things are working and then retire the older version masters.

Be sure to include a CA on one or more of the 4.x masters as well.
