SMBmount problems prevented Lab Manager 4 from importing VMs

vCenter Lab Manager 4 with ESXi 4.0 hosts

Received error screenshots when trying to import VMs

Activity: Imported VM test failed

Details: vCenter Lab Manager cannot find any suitable host conencted to the datastore " is an ESXi host and does not support smbmount

The datastore is on fibre channel SAN.

Is this a feature that ESXi hosts do not suppotr SMBmount?

In addition, I suspect the shares on the ESXi hosts must be mounted first before importing vm's from those share drives; however don't know the mount syntax since the article 1010819 was for ESX 4.0

Thanks for suggestion

In fact, not just VM import but importing other type of data such as templates also failed via SMB share
