If you can't ssh into them, then nothing else will work, so fix that 
first. It sounds to me like you do not have ssh service configured on 
your nodes/hosts. 'systemctl enable sshd; systemctl start sshd' and see 
if you can now ssh into them. If so, try adding them through the Admin 
portal again. If after starting the sshd service you still can't log in, 
try disabling iptables temporarily (and also possibly firewalld - I've 
had issues with it also).
