Hi,

You didn't specify which version is installed on your machines, but it
looks like an existing 389-ds issue:
- RHEL 10.2: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHEL-133085 fixed
in 389-ds-base-3.2.0-5.el10_2 (
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2026:18575)
- https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/issues/7267 MDB_BAD_VALSIZE error
when updating index

HTH,
flo
