SOLVED Issue.
So, if any of you is getting the "Failing to connect to the source vCenter server or ESXi container" - then take note that the newly temporary VM created needs the have the routes add correctly in order to talk to the rest of the environment.
This is happening when your vCenter is in a different VLAN than your ESXi hosts.

Took me 2 hours to figure it out.
you welcome 😁

HI Thanks for this. SO WE actually just run the installer, and select upgrade, then it will set up a Temporary VCenter server, and finally copy the data to the Targeted server? there won't be any changes to VCenter hostname or IP, the Temporary Vcenter server will be deleted after the upgrade is finished? Thanks again.

We are trying to upgrade our VCSA from 6.5 to 7.0. After running the update, we get the error that "source appliance fqdn must be the same as the source appliance primary network identifier". I noticed in the video the name you entered for the new VCSA was different from the source name, yet you did not receive the error we are receiving. Is it necessary to use a fqdn that is totally different than the source to avoid this error?

The ESXi Hosts listed on your new vCenter... are they 6.5 or 7?

Does this affect VM or Host communication? Does everything remain online during upgrade?

My question is where did you mount that iso ? On a new server?
