ESX 4 - Mounted CIFS, Not showing up under Storage

Hello, I'm attempting to mount a CIFS share on a ESX 4.0 host. The CIFS share exists on a SAN that is not licensed for NFS. I want to store the vmdk files on the SAN. The SAN will be mirrored off-site soon, thus my virtual machines will be backed up.

Basically I do not see the CIFS share under Storage in the VMWare vSphere Client.

I ran the following command.

mkdir /mnt/cifs

mount - t cifs //SANName/Sharename /mnt/cfis -o username=SANUSER,domain=ABC

It asked for a password.

When I type mount I can see it is correctly mounted.

I think I am missing a step.
