Pbs execution host couldn't talk to pbs server

I have two vms and one is pbstest1 which has pbs pro server installed, the other one is pbsproexecutionserver1 which has pbs pro execution installed. But execution host couldn’t talk to pbs pro server.

  1. PBS pro server status:

[root@pbstest1 server_logs]# systemctl status pbs

  1. PBS Pro execution host status:

  1. Run “pbsnodes -a” in pbs pro server:

[root@pbstest1 server_logs]# pbsnodes -a
pbsproexecutionserver1
Mom = pbsproexecutionserver1
Port = 15002
pbs_version = unavailable
ntype = PBS
state = state-unknown,down
pcpus = 1
resources_available.host = pbsproexecutionserver1
resources_available.ncpus = 1
resources_available.vnode = pbsproexecutionserver1
resources_assigned.accelerator_memory = 0kb
resources_assigned.hbmem = 0kb
resources_assigned.mem = 0kb
resources_assigned.naccelerators = 0
resources_assigned.ncpus = 0
resources_assigned.vmem = 0kb
comment = node down: communication closed
resv_enable = True
sharing = default_shared
last_state_change_time = Wed Nov 7 05:38:03 2018

  1. Check pbs_mom process in pbs pro execution host:

[root@pbsproexecutionserver1 sbin]# ps -ef|grep pbs_mom
root 10268 1 0 05:38 ? 00:00:00 /opt/pbs/sbin/pbs_mom
root 10328 9430 0 05:54 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto pbs_mom

  1. also we can use passwordless ssh between pbs pro server and pbs pro execution using user root.

Could you please help check what’s wrong with the configuration? Thanks a lot.

The issue has been resolved by disabling the firewall.
