Veeam VBRCatalog Service Fails to start after disk failure.

Windows 2012 R2
Veeam B&R 9.5.0.1536   Update 3

I have iSCSI drive connected from my NAS device and my VBRcatalog folder was on one of them.  After a power outage and a restart of my Veeam Server the "Veeam Guest Catalog Service"  fails to start. My NAS is reporting an pending drive failure and that is the LUN that the catalog folder is on.

The event is this

So I stopped all the Veeam services and moved the VBRCatalog folder to a local Drive.    This server is a VM on ESXI 8.5 Host
Setup the NTFS permissions and shared the folder  restarted the services and the VeeamCatalogSVC  failed again.

I modified  the reg to point to the new folder location

HKLM\Software\Veeam\Veeam Backup Catalog    CatalogPath   is now set to E:\VBRCatalog


Any ideas?

Thank you
