Hello,
I am currently upgrading the vCenter Server Appliance in the Ubuntu 20.04 OS from vCSA 7.0 to 8.0, using cli installation method (lin64).
I have filled out the embedded_vCSA_on_VC.json deployment template, and the filled out template passes validation. Furthermore, the pre-update checks pass for vCenter without error. However, when running the precheck command for vcsa_deploy, immediately after being prompted for the certificate thumbprint check (which passes), the following error is raised: "Error message: Cannot find the source VM at vcenter7.localdomain". Replacing the vCenter's FQDN with it's ipv4 address returns the same error (just with the ip address instead of the FQDN)
I have attached the template files with the (anonymized) parameters filled out, and my setup currently exists in the following way:
- vCenter (FQDN: vCenter7.localdomain)
- Datacenter
- folder
- cluster
- esxi host (with associated datastore)
- VM1
- VM2
