If you are not planning an "inplace upgrade" (i.e. replace slapd on the same server), I'd suggest to do a test migration on a test machine. If you intend an inplace upgrade, I'd suggest to clone the current server to a test machine before trying. Once challenge can be if the new version has different modules linked statically than the older one has.
