This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5519

I have a CA-less install (with --root-ca-file) and so certmonger is not configured to run.  ipa-server-upgrade from 4.2.0 fails in this situation with:

Comment 12 Nikhil Dehadrai 2016-08-08 10:25:15 UTC
IPA server version: ipa-server-4.4.0-3.el7.x86_64

Verified the bug on the basis of following steps:
1. Verified that no error message like "ERROR Certmonger is not running" is observed during upgrade of IPA server.
2. Verified the bug for upgrade paths:
   a) 7.2(GA) to 7.3
   b) 7.2.z to 7.3 (In my case upgrade from 7.2up6)

 Thus on the basis of above observations marking the status of bug to "VERIFIED".
