State=unknown, down. PBSr20 on CentOS8.1

Please

  1. check firewall is disabled (15001 to 15009 , 17001 ports should be open), selinux is disabled and system rebooted
  2. check pbs_mom services are running on the system ( ps -ef | grep pbs_ )
  3. Check DNS ( reverse resolution) , /etc/hosts , hostname resolvable

Hope this helps
