Unable to SSH to the source machine

I'm receiving a "ssh connection was refused" error while trying to conduct a Linux P2V with the SDK.   I checked that that SSH is running on the source machine and that root is in the AllowUsers for SSHD.  I'm beginning to believe that this error may have to with something other than SSH?   Any ideas would be wonderful. 

Thanks!
