I took a look into the error message that you're seeing and it looks like the issue could be related to a few different things. Your best bet for starting your troubleshooting is to get a verbose output to give you some additional information as to where the SSH connection is failing. The following command can help you with that:
ssh -vvv root@$ipAddress
Once you've got that output, you should be able to get moving in the right direction. I found the following post that's got some great troubleshooting tips for when you get your verbose output.
As always, you can also paste your output back into this back into this post so our Community can chime in. 🙂
