O serviço vmware-sps não inicia no vCenter

Considere o seguinte ambiente de cluster VMware:

1 x chassi de servidor blade Cisco UCS 5108

6 x Cisco UCS B200 M3 (vSphere 6.5 Enterprise Plus)

1x VMware vCenter Standard 6.5

Tivemos um problema com um dos servidores, provavelmente causado por um HBA de armazenamento com defeito. Infelizmente, no momento do incidente, a VM do vCenter estava hospedada no servidor com defeito. Passamos por todos os tipos de problemas para mover manualmente todas as VMs para os outros servidores e, no final, tudo deu certo, exceto a VM do vCenter. Suspeitamos que algo nele tenha sido corrompido porque não conseguimos executar alguns serviços, especialmente o serviço vmware-sps, que causou alguns problemas com backups da Veeam e outras funcionalidades. Ao tentar iniciar manualmente o serviço vmware-sps, obtivemos o seguinte:

Nossas pesquisas no Google e na documentação oficial não tiveram sucesso. Não temos um contrato de suporte VMware ativo (eu sei, eu sei, mas não é minha culpa...). Alguém tem uma idéia de como solucionar e reparar isso? Desde já, obrigado!
