the meaning of this message is that "HP_NParProviderModule" cannot communicate with CIM server. I see two possible reasons for this to happen:

- CIM server is stopped (CIM server is part of WBEM services on HP-UX):

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/B8465-90017/ch05s03.html

- HP_NParProviderModule is not loaded or it has problems to be running on the HP-UX system:

Hope this can help you to have good troubleshooting about that message.

Have you checked anything mentioned in the above docs??

If yes then please share the current status of the cimserver whether it is running or not or have yu tried starting it manually?

It looks like a bug since everything is working fine. Very similar to JAGag42815: Modify the syslog msg. 'CIM server failed' when not actually an error.

Check WBEM version ?? Have a look at the release notes:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B8465-90035/ch01s08.html
