Hello Viktor,

please read "RANGES" section of `man ipa-replica-manage`

Guessing what could have happened:
- new servers were created but none got DNA range because no new user 
nor group was created there
- when servers were decommissioned, their ranges were not returned back 
to different master (this might be bug).

Could be fixed by creating new DNA ranges on the new masters using 
ipa-replica-manage tool.
