Hi, I've setted up two Proxmox Servers in my home lab, each one running in a distinct physical server, but can't ping each other, neither join the same cluster.

Both PVE can:
  • Ping the gateway (192.168.15.1);
  • Ping outside ips (8.8.8.8)
  • Ping other devices in lan;
  • Receives pings from my own desktop
Both PVE can't:
  • Join cluster (500 ERROR; Unable to Reach Host)
  • Ping each other (Unable to Reach Host)

Can you post the output of the Cluster Join log?
Additionally the contents of /etc/hosts of both nodes would be interesting

What are the hostnames of both hosts? cat /etc/hostname
 
Quite odd, do you have any Firewall set in PVE or in between the nodes that could block the connection?
 
I haven't set any firewalls, they were fresh installed, I didn't change anything.
I don't think the router is blocking it.
