Yes, I agree with you. My basic question is that how come the same scenario is supported in the older version but not in latest OpenLDAP 2.4.44 with MDB backend.
During this scenario, contextCSNs of both the MM1 and MM2 get updated correctly on MDB (OpenLDAP 2.4.44) and BDB (OpenLDAP 2.4.11) See below the contextCSN values of MM1 and MM2. ######################### MM1 on BDB (OpenLDAP 2.4.11) ######################### contextCSN: 20160718052917.405929Z#000000#000#000000 contextCSN: 20160718053109.639168Z#000000#001#000000 contextCSN: 20160718053249.495430Z#000000#002#000000 ######################### MM2 on BDB (OpenLDAP 2.4.11) ######################### contextCSN: 20160718052917.405929Z#000000#000#000000 contextCSN: 20160718053249.495430Z#000000#002#000000 contextCSN: 20160718053109.639168Z#000000#001#000000 ######################### MM1 on MDB (OpenLDAP 2.4.44) ######################### contextCSN: 20160717234101.093387Z#000000#000#000000 contextCSN: 20160717234320.498152Z#000000#001#000000 contextCSN: 20160717234453.544103Z#000000#002#000000 ######################### MM2 on MDB (OpenLDAP 2.4.44) ######################### contextCSN: 20160717234101.093387Z#000000#000#000000 contextCSN: 20160717234320.498152Z#000000#001#000000 contextCSN: 20160717234453.544103Z#000000#002#000000 >From the contextCSNs values on both backends I got that MM1 and MM2 are in >sync. When I did slapcat on BDB, I found that LDIF entries with entryCSN equals to three contextCSN with i.e. server id #000, #001 and #002 are present in the LDIF files (attached files 'slapcatExportMM1_BDB.ldif' and 'slapcatExportMM2_BDB.ldif'). When I did slapcat on MDB, I found that LDIF entries with entryCSN equals to contextCSN with i.e. server id #000 and #002 are present in the LDIF file (exported file) but LDIF with entryCSN equals to contextCSN with server id #001 is not present in LDIF files (attached files 'slapcatExportMM1_MDB.ldif' and 'slapcatExportMM2_MDB.ldif'). Is it possible that contextCSN value is updated in the MDB but LDIF entry is not present in the DB corresponding to the same contextCSN?

It is a very common scenario that both LDAP servers are down at the same time? It is very common that one server is down? I think replication basically works like this: If a consumer gets an update from a provider, it is assumed to be up to date regarding that provider. I'm not sure whether your situation can be resolved.
