Unless you do a uvbackup/uvrestore. Also, if you're running it on RH/Itanium ... see below. > 3. Did anyone migrate from HP-Ux to RedHat and then back to HP-Ux? > > Nope. > > 4.

I'm not sure it is ... so you may find you cannot get a version of UV to run on Itanium. As mentioned elsewhere check the compatibility matrix. Oh - and if HP-Ux and Itanium run on same-endian hardware, then you shouldn't need any conversion utilities - it's quite *possible* (not certain, but very likely) that just copying both UV and your accounts, then re-installing the correct version of UV over the copied version, will result in a working system.
