There is a problem with the configuration.

Please break the pair and recreate it again.

Instead of guessing on limited information take alook at the SRM logs

VMware Knowledge Base

Also to further help please try to list anything that has changed since you setup SRM recently.

all required ports are open, especially Pairing Ports TCP 443 9086 8095.

Make sure 80 is though, I remember that one giving me grief and I don't remember that one being listed in the docs.
