IllegalServiceError: Service 'vpxd-svcs' does not exist.^M
Cause
This happens in case the service-control file on the source vcenter machine is corrupt or blank

If you run the service-control command it will either give a traceback or no output at all
Impact / Risks
pre checks fails stating IllegalServiceError: Service 'vpxd-svcs' does not exist.
Resolution
Replace the service-control file from a working environment (lab) on the source vCenter
Test if the service-control --status --all gives expected output
