    Same issue with ESXi 5.5 and WB 3.0.1 :smileysad:

    This is not a connectivity issue for sure, both hosts is able to ping each other, firewall is disabled.

    Any way to debug it?

    Please run /bin/STAFProc& as you have already installed staf and do a 'ps' and see STAFProc is running.

    Check the ouput of 'staf local ping ping.'

    Yes ,I often met this issue,but recently I find the way to solve this .

    1.go to the ESXI host and edit the file /etc/hosts 

    2.add the FQDN of workbench into ESXI hosts file.such as

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    vi /etc/hosts

    192.168.10.1 esxi01.xxx.com esxi01

    192.168.10.10 workbench.xxx.com workbench

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    3.intall STAF into ESXI host via workbench installation helper.

    4.done well
