If we are talking about migration between endians, I usually just move
the lot via tar or system-to-system RSYNC then use fnuxi to perform the
endian conversion in batch like this:
cd /path/to/where/accounts/live
find . -name "*" -exec /path/to/uv/bin/fnuxi {} \;
This targets everything in /path/to/where/accounts/live including hashed
files that live in sub-sub directories. It targets files that are not
universe and have no need for a fnuxi conversion. fnuxi seems to check
the header of the file and determine if its a universe hashed file and,
if not, skips it. The technique relies on fnuxi's discrimination. It
blows a lot of stuff to the screen as it tells you that it's not going
to process many of the file files it encounters because they are not
hashed files. In the end it will have traversed everything you laid
down into that directory and it's subdirectories and performed a fnuxi
conversion on everything hashed. I've not tried this with dynamic files
but I think it will work with those too.
Of course, one would be wise to perform a backup of the lot before
attempting any enmasse data conversion... just in case.

Did you use "format.conv" (UNIX / DOS/Windows command) or FORMAT.CONV (TCL
command) on the HPUX sourced files that restored - post-restore? This will convert them
into the format required for the target system...
There are many options to choose from...see Admin.pdf (In the UV11.1 edition,
see section 15-21 - PDF page 362 or do a TCL HELP FORMAT.CONV)
A quick google would've revealed to you the following thread... which could be
useful as well...

Subject: [U2] Migrating UniVerse 10.1.20 on HP-UX to UV 11.x on Redhat Linux
Hi,
The general consensus seems to be that when migrating UniVerse across platforms
the best approach is to use UVBACKUP on the old platform and then UVRESTORE on
the target platform and all platform issues are taken care of.
We, however have just attempted this process in migrating UniVerse 10.1.20 on
HP-UX to UV 11.x on Redhat Linux and have come across the following problem ...
UVBACKUP seemed to worked OK (we were able to restore on old platform UVRESTORE
seemed to work OK on target platform
<http://u2-universe-unidata.1073795.n5.nabble.com/file/n42468/uvscreen.png>
In the above screenshot the directory contains UniVerse files but UniVerse
doesn’t recognise them. UniVerse can’t run in this directory without its
essential database files. Answering “Y” to the question also won’t work as
UniVerse is unable to initialise the directory while it contains rubbish files
having the same names as the required UniVerse files.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Michael
