vCenter Server Services not Starting all Services after Physical Disk Issue

During some recent lab work I unexpectedly lost one of the NVME drives in my host which took out the VCF instance I was working in. After resolving the disk issue, I didn’t have a working vCenter so I checked to see what services were running I could see most were not! root@tshc-vc01 [ ~ ]# service-control --status Running: lwsmd observability vmafdd vmcad vmdird vmware-envoy vmware-envoy-hgw vmware-envoy-sidecar vmware-envoy-system-proxy vmware-postgres-archiver vmware-rhttpproxy vmware-vdtc vmware-vmon vmware-vpostgres vtsdb Stopped: applmgmt lookupsvc observability-vapi pschealth vc-ws1a-broker vlcm vmcam vmware-analytics vmware-certificateauthority vmware-certificatemanagement vmware-cis-license vmware-content-library vmware-eam vmware-hvc vmware-imagebuilder vmware-infraprofile vmware-netdumper vmware-perfcharts vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-sca vmware-sps vmware-stsd vmware-topologysvc vmware-trustmanagement vmware-updatemgr vmware-vapi-endpoint vmware-vcha vmware-vpxd vmware-vpxd-svcs vmware-vsan-health vmware-vsm vsphere-ui vstats wcp After a bit of research I found this article.
