Management
Greetings and welcome to
Management Perspective. If
you are a regular reader of
HP Computer lipdate, you
will notice that this column
is an addition to the usual
format. And you will see
more additions as you
browse through future
issues. Why? Because we
heard you.
About two months ago,
members of our sales
force came to us and
spoke up on your behalf. They said that you want more
information about Hewlett-Packard's strategy for meeting
your computing needs. You want to know how HP has
helped people like yourselves solve business problems.
Many of you have hardware, networking, or application
needs that you don't even know we can address. What can
we do about that? Our answer is threefold: Management
Perspective-a montldy article covering a particular aspect
of Hewlett-Packard's con~putingstrategy from our upper
management team; a new feature article focusing on what
that strategy means to you; and the addition of monthly
success stories demonstrating how that strategy helped
customers.
As the author of the premiere Management Perspective
article, I'd like to begin by previewing for you some of the
basic components of the strategy we're pursuing in the
1990s. Some will undoubtedly sound familiar, being a
continuation of the things we did right in the 1980s.

PA-RISC remains the cornerstone of our hardware success.
We started delivering RISC-based minicomputers in 1986
and currently remain the only vendor to provide multiuser
systems that take advantage of this technology. Last March
we shocked the industry with the introduction of our
HP Apollo 9000 Series 700 RISC workstations, and today
boast performance leadership at every critical workstation
price point. Our past and future commitments to this
technology will continue to make it possible for most of our
installed base to keep moving forward and benefit from the
RISC revolution.
During 1992, we also will continue our leadership in and
support of industry standards. Briefly, we will support the
creation of industry standards by active participation in

standards groups; we will base our innovations on existing
standards so you can take advantage of the new capabilities;
and where no standard exists and we have ploughed new
ground technologically, we will make that innovation
available to others. We also will continue to deliver open
systems solutions with greater performance and lower costs.
And we'll make them easier to use and configure in
multivendor environments. We're already delivering
software infrastructure products to help you build, manage,
and use distributed open systems. As a result, developers
are dramatically reducing their development costs and
improving their time to market. Also, our Open Systems
Environment provides you with the assistance you need to
break through the barriers to open systems.
Of course, hardware performance and multivendor capabilities aren't the only important customer needs today. That's
why our strategy for the 1990s still includes establishing and
maintaining strong and successful relatio hips with a wide
selection of best-in-class applications providers. We already
have 2,300 HP 3000 applications, nearly 2,000 workstationsspecific applications, more than 3,600 worldwide HP-UX
applications, and plans to add additional popular commercial
applications.
Finally, our strategy for the 1990s will continue to include a
strong emphasis on the client/server computing model. We
believe it has sign cant enterprisewide customer benefits,
including better access to information and resources across
applications and geographies, less data redundancy and
better data integrity, faster application development and
easier maintenance, greater flexibility in configuring systems,
and the potential to tap specialized resources on the
network. We already have the main components for client/
server computing-super clients and servers, technologies
like NCS, WP NewWave Office, PC integration, development
tools, and applications. We're adding four new client/server
development tools as weU as three new applications, and
you can expect more in the months ahead.
Like the changes we're making to HP Computer Update, our
response
strategy for the 1990s is, in large part, a conscious
ns
to you and your needs. And it is our plan and hope that you
will eQoy the changes, benefit from the strategies, and say
with conviction that Hewlett-Packard heard us.

HP MPE V Release 23
Based on your feedback in August
1991, Hewlett-Packard committed
to provide five of the top seven
Systems Improvement Committee
(SIC) special interest user's group
requested enhancements and to fix
20 of the top 40 service requests.
HP MPE V Release 23, shipping in
May, has met and exceeded comnutments. HP MPE V Release 23
has six of the top eight requested
enhancements, and 35 of the top 40
service requests have been fixed.
The enhanc.ements strengthen
HP MPEXX compatibility.
Higher reliability is achieved
through ongoing efforts to fix
service requests. These fixes and
the enhancements on HP MPE V
Release 23 help reduce the time
and resources required to manage
systems.
SIC requested enhancements
include:

Showboat - shows % of active
spoolfile remaining
Logical console - switches to
physical console LDEV on modem
logoff
Store -has nine-level exclusion
fileset for store and restore
Spoolfiles -purges by date,
priority, and user account
Restore - shows the date tape
was created
Jobinfo - shows users who
streamed the job

Additional enhancements and
improvements include:

Restore DDS - provides faster
file restoration for digital-audio
tapes
HP EXPLAIN utility -includes
new online facility that provides
cause-and-action information on
system errors
System performance measurement - has expanded interface to
support the maximum number of
processes on HP MPE V/E
Frocess priority oscillation provides increased control over
allocating CPU resources
COBOL performance improvement - has trap handling code
change to provide increased
performance for many large
COBOL programs
Jobfile date - allows streaming a
job to no longer cause the modification date in the job file label to
be updated
Supacct.pub.sys - eliminates
fieldjob. SYS account has lock
access set to Any. Job output is
reduced by one-third and RJE
capabilities are set correctly.
You should wait for nonnal distribution of the next platform release,
Release 2P, scheduled for fall 1992,
since Release 2P will provide a
support life of 48 months.

Introducing HP EXPLAIN
In response to your feedback,
Hewlett-Packard is introducing a
new utility that will be available
with HP MF'E V/E Release 23
(G.08.00). HP E X P W N allows you
quick o n h e access to explanations
of HP MF'E V system error messages. It can run on virtually any
terminal and does not require any
special capabilities. You can *lay
or print explanations for messages
or perform a key word search of the
messages in the system catalog by
search string or by number. Three
sets of messages are documented
with explanations.

program
For Europe only

On February 1, 1992, HP initiated the
Quickship program in Europe. T ~ I S
program makes HP 9000 Series 800
systems easier to order and provides
for quicker delivery.
Four bundles have been created
that are built and stocked in
Europe. Orders for these systems
are shipped from stock within one
week from the time the order is
entered into Hewlett-Packard's
order processing system.
To order indicate the bundle product number and a localization
option. The l o c ~ t i o option
n
must
be included to indlcate the correct
keyboard and power cord to be
shipped with the system. To order
Quickship bundles you should be
aware of the following:
Each Quickship bundle is a fixed
configuration and cannot be
changed - I f you require a different configuration, order HP 9000
Model 8x7 system components
using normal ordering procedures.
Quicksh ip bundles are considered
shippable upon receipt of o~~ I f you do not want system delivery
before a certain date, order HP 9000
Model 8x7 system components
using normal ordering procedures.
Quickship bundles are not
available for coordinated shipm t s - I f additional products are
required they should be ordered
separately through normal channels and will most likely arrive
after the Quickship bundle. If
coordinated delivery is required
order HP 9000 Model 8x7 system
components and add-on items
using normal ordering procedures.

Purchasing the Quickship bundles
offers the advantage of quick
delivery, but there is no price
advantage. Contact your HP representative for more information.

HP Vectra 386~120PC flexible for technical and
office users
If you require expansion capabilities
for technical or business applications in either standalone or
network configurations or are
migrating from HP Vectra QS/16S
and QS/20 PCs, a flexible 386SX PC
now is available.

Features and benefits
Expansibilitg - HP Vectra 38W
20 PC offers a con~binationof
integrated options and room to
grow. HP Super VGA, hard and
flexible disk controllers, two serial
ports, and one parallel port are all
incorporated on the PC system
board. This leaves the five accessory slots free to accommodate
key accessories such as facsimile
and modem cards. Four mass
storage shelves provide room for
data storage on 3%-inchand 5%inch floppy drives as well as
space for tape backup of up to
830 Mbytes on small computer
standard interface hard disk
drives.
P d o m z a n c e - Combination of
the 80386SX microcoprocessor
with an HP-designed memory
cache controller, hard dLsk with
less than 17 ms seek time, and the
integrated HP Super VGA controller means that the HP Vectra 386d
20 PC performs in applications
such as LotusB1-2-3: mcrosoft
Excel, and AutoCADTMThe
performance was tested in a series
of independent tests comrnissioned by Hewlett-Packard.

Standalone or connected to a
local-area network (LAN) -This
expansibility potential is for users
who are not currently connected
to a LAN. Built-in network
security features and optional
LAN accessories such as bootROM offer easy integration to a
LAN.
E r g o m i c a U g designed features - These include power and
reset buttons on the front of the
PC for easy access, temperatureregulated fan that generates less
noise, and HP Super VGA with a
low-flicker screen refresh rate of
72 Hz that reduces eye strain and
fatigue.
Enhanced ease of setup and
serviceabilitg -l h s provides
easy access to internal components because no screws are used
to attach the cover. The ROMbased setup program automatically determines the amount of
memory and the type of mass
storage devices installed. The easy
access to parts and the setup
program reduce the time and
expense needed for setup and
service.
F l q q g disk-based error utility This reduces the cost of support
by allowing for early diagnosis of
problems without a technician.
The HP Vectra 38W20 PC now is
available from Hewlett-Packard
dealers and carries a one-year
limited warranty, convertible to
three months onsite repair. For

Major extensions for
HP ISDN products
HP ISDN products now are supported in more countries. The
HP ISDN server allows for interconnecting geographically distributed
Ethernet local-area networks (LAN)
over ISDN networks for all applications using the TCPAP cornmunication protocol and acts as a call
concentrator for integrating
.standalone PCs equipped with
the HP ISDN LinkMS-DOS to a
remote LAN. The HP ISDN server
(P/N J2101A) and HP ISDN Link1
MS-DOS (P/N J2102A) products
now provide extended geographical
support in countries where these
products have been successfully
certified for the first time. The
products are available and can be
attached to the public ISDN networks in the following countries:
Australia, France, Germany, Japan,
the U.K., and the U.S. (AT&T 5ESS).
Certification is in progress for
Belgium, Italy, and the U.S.
(NT DMS 100). For unlisted countries certification is being handled
on a case-by-case basis. Contact
Hewlett-Packard for upto-date
information and status in your

New HP disk
declassification capability
If you are in the aerospace, defense,
or electronics industry, you may be
concerned with information left on
magnetic medla after it has been
erased, a problem h o w n as
magnetic remanence. This problem
typically occurs when you want to
move a disk from one location or
project to another.
One method to solve this problem
has been outlined by the U.S.
Defense Investigative Service (DIS)
and is contained in a document
called Department of Defense
Magnetic Remanence Security
Guideline. T ~ guideline
E
specifies
that the disk medla be overwritten
'n' times with a specified bit pattern.
Although thLs requirement is not
new, an approval process is now
required stating that the erasure
procedures meet DIS requirements.
The DIS recently approved the
Hewlett-Packard procedure
for declasslfylng HP disks.
Hewlett-Packard'ssoftware utility
for declassification is supported
only on I-IP-manufacturedsingleended small computer standard
interface (SCSI) 3%-and 5%-inch
form factor disk mechanisms.
Included are both bullt-in mechanisms and mass storage solutions
containing those SCSI mechanisms.
Because the software uses several
Hewlett-Packard unique SCSI
diagnostic commands to perform

the declassification procedure,
it is not supported on other
vendols' disk mechanisms. Older
Hewlett-Packard-builtdisk mechanisms and products using ESDI and
PC-AT interfaces also will not work.
To perform the declassification
procedure, the following equipment
is required: industry-standard PC
running MSDOS with an Adaptec
1520,1522,1540,or 1542 SCSI host
bus adapter installed inside the
PC; HP software utility; and
HI'-manufactured SCSI disk
products to be cleared or
declassified.

As the disk mechanism is declassified on the PC, it does not matter
what type of Hewlett-Packard
system is connected to the disk
mechanism. Declasswg a disk
mechanism is a time-consuming
process. For example, it may take
about 12 hours to declassify a
422-Mbyte disk mechanism.
For a limited time Hewlett-Packard
can provide a copy of the executeonly software utility at no charge to
you. Hewlett-Packard reserves the
right to charge for future new
software utility products or

Enhanced HP DesignJet plotter

Hewlett-Packard has enhanced the
HP DesignJet monochrome w e t
plotter (P/N C 1633B) with the
emulation of HP GL, support for the
new HP JetDirect card for UNIXbased systems and highcapacity
w e t cartridges, a protected mode
AutoCAD AD1 driver, and improved
front panel menus. This version of
the HP DesignJet plotter now is
available.

Features and benefits
HP GL emulation HP Desgdet plotter supports
HP GL through an HP 7586B
emulation mode. If you use HP GL
drivers or HP GL as your standard
plotter language, you now can use
the HP DesignJet plotter. The
plotter uses HPGL2 and HP RTL,
a raster transfer language that
allows vector and raster data to be
merged in a single plot.

HP Computer Update, March 1992

Network i n m a c e options Both the original and the
enhanced HP Desgdet plotter
will work with the HP JetDirect
card (P/N C2059T) for UNIXbased systems, including HP-UX,
Sun ficrosystems SunOS,and
SCO UNIX. With this interface
installed in the plotter's modular
interface option slot, the plotter
can be placed anywhere on the
network for location flexibility.
The card allows data to be
transferred as fast as the plotter
can accept it. The HP Desgdet
plotter also works with the
HP JetDirect card for Novell
NetWare Ethernet (P/N C2059A)
and the HP JetDirect card for
HP-IB (P/N 16424).
High-capacity inkjet cartndges - These new cartridges
(P/N 51626A) also work with
HP DeskJet printers and the
origmal HP DesignJet plotter. The
new cartridges provide twice the
ink of the previous cartridges.
The plotter uses two cartridges
simultaneously and can plot 180
standard E-size plots in final mode
or 360 E-size plots in draft mode.
New AutoCAD driver - The
plotter ships with both a protected
mode and a real mode AutoCAD
AD1 HPGL2 driver (P/N C1633B).
The protected mode driver
provides a 30 to 50%increase in
performance over the real mode
driver and works with 386 ver-

with 64CLKbyte MS-DOS velsions
of AutoCAD Release 10 and 11.
The disk contains a file on using
AutoCAD with the HP DesignJet
plotter. When using either driver
with the HP Desgdet plotter, set
the graphics language designation
to HP GL. The new AutoCAD AD1
HPGL2 driver is available from
the HP forum of CompuServeTM
Front-panel improvements The front panel provides more
control. You can select drying
times that match your needs and
environmental conditions. Pen
widths match IS0 standard sizes,
ranging from 0.13 to 12.0 mm. A
new paper-saving mode advances
and cuts roll media drawings to
the actual size of the drawing.
Upgrade kit - Current
HP DesignJet users can upgrade
to the enhanced model by purchasing the upgrade kit
(P/N C2854A).

New HP JetDirect cards
.forUNIX-based systems
HP JetDirect cards (P/Ns C2059T,
C2071T, and C2071S) for UNIXbased systems now are available.
These network peripheral interfaces
are designed to directly connect
Hewlett-Packard peripherals to
TCP/IP Ethernet networks with
HP-UX, SunOS, and SCO UNIX
systems.
The supported peripherals include
the HP LaserJet 11, IID, III, IUD, and
IUSi printers and the HP DesignJet
plotter. These interfaces are the
newest in the HP JetDirect card
family.

Features and benefits
Peripheral location - Printers
and plotters can be located
anywhere on a network by
connecting them directly to the
network cable. They are no longer
confined to host system locations
because of serial or parallel cable
length limitations.
PNoomumnce - Performance is
maximized by taking advantage of
faster network transmission
speeds, rather than being limited
by serial or parallel performance
bottlenecks associated with direct
system YO connections and
external printlplot server boxes.
For example, the increased
processing speed of the
HP LaserJet mSi printer makes
the HP JetDirect interface 15
times faster than a typical parallel
port, depending on the speed and
configuration of the network
operating system.
Network m a n a g m t - The
new HP JetDirect cards are
compatible with standard simple

network management protocolbased network management
applications, such as
HP Openview Interconnect
Manager.
Ease of use - An easy-to-use
configuration utility is provided to
step you through the configuration process on the host spooler
system.
Diagnostics - The new
HP JetDirect cards are compatible
with common UNIX-based
systems diagnostics. They are also
shipped with advanced diagnostic
utilities for collecting network
statistics and peripheral-specific
status information. A test page can
be produced on the peripheral
that contains extensive configuration and troubleshooting infonnation specific to the HP JetDirect
card.
Flexibility - Peripherals can be
set up to receive jobs from one
central master spooling system or
from multiple spooling systems.
Print and plot jobs can be sent
across network routers to networked printers and plotters.
Operating system support - The
operating systems supported by
the new HP JetDirect cards
include HP-UX 7.Xl8.X (version
depends on the HP 9000 system),
SunOS 4.1.1 on Sun SPARC
systems only, and SCO UNIX
Vl386 Release 3.2 Version 2.
Investment yrotection - The new
HP JetDirect cards can be used
with a wide range of HP peripherals, including HP LaserJet 11, IID,
III, IIID, and IUSi printers and the
HP DesignJet plotter. This allows
you to upgrade existing peripherals in addition to putting new
peripherals on your UNIX-based
system network.

same functionahty and features as
the HP 700192 terminal including 8
pages of display memory, 80- or 132column display, 75 to 38,400 baud
