Hello, I have Proxmo 5.2-1 installed with two nodes working perfectly, and since yesterday one node has problems, and cannot access the VMs, how to

Are you really using Proxmox 5.2.1? That's quite an old version and EOL for years.
Yes, I know, but since it works well for me with those servers I have left it like this until now, that node does not allow me to access it through the web, but through the console it does.
 
Do you have backups of the vms outside of your cluster?
Then it's propably better to reinstall everything with the newest version of proxmox before restoring the backups (this can be tested in a vm before!).
In any case (even when you mange to fix the current failure in your environment) you should update to a newer version since you won't get security upgrades for 5.2.1.
Here is a link to a recent disccusion how to approach such an update

I do have a save of those VMs but they are old, that's why I wanted to see how I could get it up to save the VMs and install a higher version

If you still can use your other node I would try to setup a new vm with the newest proxmox ve version and try to restore you backups (you don't need to run them to test that restore works).

Hi, This is the error when trying to access this node ( hostname lookup 'occ-1' failed - failed to get address info for: occ-1 temporary failure in name resolution (500) )

This looks more like a network error thsn anything else. Can you login via web and ssh to occ-1?
 
As said most likely network configuration ( propably DNS) in your router or on the host is broken. I would check in the Router whether the host is there. Afterwards I would use a Keyboard and Display to check the nodes network configuration

the IP is in the nodes, i access them through the administration console, it was the first thing i checked when everything started. i would have to check the router, which is the only place i haven't checked.
