vCenter Appliance WebClient down - Error: Service name is invalid

vCenter Appliance - WebClient down with "Error: Service name is invalid" Last week I had to shutdown my lab vCenter 6.7. As it's just a lab I just powered it off instead of shutting down.

I logged in to the appliance via SSH and tried to list service status root@vcenter [ ~ ]#  service-control --status --all 2019-04-04T10:43:41.796Z  Error: Service name "applmgmt" is invalid. 2019-04-04T10:43:41.816Z  Error: Service name "content-library" is invalid. 2019-04-04T10:43:41.837Z  Error: Service name "vcha" is invalid. 2019-04-04T10:43:41.857Z  Error: Service name "pschealth" is invalid. 2019-04-04T10:43:41.878Z  Error: Service name "sps" is invalid. 2019-04-04T10:43:41.898Z  Error: Service name "sca" is invalid. 2019-04-04T10:43:41.936Z  Error: Servic
