Before shutting down you may want to see if MINE/APPLY are going to go back in time. Starting in Replicate 2.8, when you request to shutdown a process information will be displayed about how far back that process must go if it is shutdown.

dbvrep> list obsolete redo
dbvrep> list transactions transactions

This is to make sure that the MINE process does not need old redo/archive logs, and for APPLY that it is in the middle of a long transaction.  Consider doing the upgrade when MINE/APPLY don't have far to go back.
