upgraded vRA 7.3 at home lab and noticed below error where the replica node failed to install pointing to below URL. Unfortunately below URL doesnt work yet.
all IAAS Nodes and primary master node upgraded fine with no issues and works great. I couldnt find any documentation or process on how to update the Appliance manually .

I resolved it with below steps
1)Delete the replica node from cluster on VAMI on the master node
2)run below commands on the master node to remove the failed node
rabbitmqctl forget_cluster_node rabbit@vrava02
sed -i "/vrava02.akil.local/d" "/etc/haproxy/conf.d/10-psql.cfg" "/etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg"
service haproxy restart
/usr/sbin/vcac-config cluster-config-ping-nodes --services haproxy
echo "Delete from \"saas\".\"Connector\" where host like '%vrava02.akil.local%'" | su - postgres /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql vcac
echo "Delete from \"saas\".\"OAuth2Client\" where \"OAuth2Client\".\"redirectUri\" LIKE '%vrava02.akil.local%'" | su - postgres /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql vcac
echo "Delete from \"saas\".\"FederationArtifacts\" where \"FederationArtifacts\".\"strData\" LIKE '%vrava02.akil.local%'" | su postgres /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql vcac
echo "Delete from \"saas\".\"ServiceInstance\" where \"ServiceInstance\".\"hostName\" LIKE '%vrava02.akil.local%';" | su - postgres /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql vcac
3)deploy a new vRA 7.3 appliance
4)change hostname to loadbalancer name
5)Join the node to the cluster
6) enable load balancer for the replica node
