Can't create a new replica of an older FreeIPA server (v4.6.8 on c7) to a new FreeIPA server (v4.9 on f36 and v4.10 on f37). The error is during the `Configuring certificate server (pki-tomcatd)` phase.

Up until now I've been cooling the thermally (and physically) isolated server room from the rest of my house and using a large mini-split to keep it cool. However the mini-split has reached its limits; The room now has 9-10 kW of gear in it.
