Resolution
It may be possible to restore an old DIB set that was taken prior to the upgrade.
Please contact technical support to restore these files.
Because this is a single server tree, we were able to open the database successfully and xk2'ing the server was not an option, because there are no other servers that hold replicas.

Note:
If this was a multiple server environment, after restoring the NDO files you would need to disable synchronization (SET DSTRACE+!s0, that is a zero) and run DSREPAIR -XK2 by following this document for removing replicas off a server. TID #7001592 - Manually Removing All Replicas From a Server; DSREPAIR -XK2.
