I had to restore my appliance from an Avamar backup and now the vmon.service is masked and I cannot unmask it. This is the error I get when trying to start vmware-vpxd service:
service-control --start vmware-vpxd

Is there anything else I can check or is this a complete rebuild? Logs? The postgres database will not come up on my appliance and I'd really like to avoid rebuilding. We do vmdk-level backups with Avamar. Thanks.
