Hi,

My syslog contains following error messages.

Jan 14 02:11:42 prodata1 cimserver[1528]: PGS17200: Authentication failed for user root.
Jan 14 02:12:23 prodata1 cimserver[1528]: PGS17200: Authentication failed for user root.
Jan 14 02:12:27 prodata1 cimserver[1528]: PGS17200: Authentication failed for user root.

what it is mean.how to resolved.

Is any thing critical.

Thanks

Do you have an "HP Systems Insight Manager" Server configured on your environment? It's possible that the HP SIM Server is trying to connect to this host, but Systems credentials are not setup correctly.

So,

Why  this message come again and again.

How can resolved the problem or stop the error message.

You may not be aware of it, but you may have an external HP SIM Server configured in your environment (not uatdata1!). In our environment we have a Windows HP SIM Server, and our Windows system administrator set it up to auto-discover other nodes. This in turn tried to add all our HP-UX hosts in the HP SIM Server database. Depending on how often the host polling was set up in the HP SIM Server (not uatdata1, but an external HP SIM Server), it will attempt to login to the HP-UX host using webem/snmp/ssh or whatever authentication was configured. If the root password was not entered correctly, then you will see thoses messages on your syslog.log.
