Quick update, the server I was running iManager on is also the server that was reporting the NCP object for the cluster resource as down.  This server has a replica of all our partitions.  This is also the server that acts as the engine for Storage Manager and Storage Manager is configured to point to itself for eDir.  I have a second server with replicas of everything and I decided to check iManager on that server and it reported the NCP server object as being up.  I removed the replica of the servers partition off the initial server (Storage manager engine server and core eDir server) and I checked NCP server object for the cluster resource again and it now reports as up.  I checked storage manager and all the pending events cleared.  So the issue was a difference in how the replica of the servers OU reported the status of that NCP object object on the two different servers that had replicas of the OU containing the object.  I had rebooted the server in question and it still had reported that NCP server object as down.  Removing the replica of the servers OU seems to have done the trick.  I suspect adding the replica back would be OK but I am leaving it off the server for now.

Sounds like something is off on your eDirectory. Have you run through the basic checks to make sure there are no errors or problems showing?

The three easy on a terminal session for each server is:
   ndsrepair -T
   ndsrepair -E
   ndsrepair -C -Ad -A
checking that all end with  Total errors: 0 
   before continuing to the next one, otherwise run that particular check again to see if the first run cleared it, otherwise troubleshoot the error.
