Hello I am new to Proxmox so let me know if I miss something obvious.
I have 4 nodes freshly installed with 7.4-3. I did the community updates. They are in a Dell VRTX but that shouldn't matter.
The NICs are all bonded and communicating. I can ping and ssh into all of them with name and IP.
pve 10.0.200.60
pve1 10.0.200.61
pve2 10.0.200.62
pve3 10.0.200.63

I created a cluster, VRTX, on pve. I cannot join the cluster from any other node. I get:

Establishing API connection with host '10.0.200.60'
TASK ERROR: 500 Can't connect to 10.0.200.60:8006

I tried to remove the cluster and add it again but I get the same results.
What should I try?
 
Also, disable firewall if there is any while you are trying to connect to cluster, you may later enable it.
