Attempting to launch VMware SRM plug-in throws the error: “The server ‘192.168.155.10’ could not interpret the client’s request. (The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.)”

You’ve recently upgraded vCenter from 5.1 to 5.5 and quickly noticed that you receive the following error when attempting to load Site Recovery Manager:

The server ‘192.168.155.10’ could not interpret the client’s request. (The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.)
