Since it's a VM, there are couple options for a DATASTORE in vmware ESXi.
A description about the different options is at:
https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/features/storage

For the VMWARE vsphear\ESXi DATASTORE you can use a NAS(NFS,...),SAN(ISCSI,..),DAS. Inside the VM settings\options you can connect a DISK device to a virtual IDE controller or a SCSI\SAS one.
The VM will see disks as /dev/sda{b,c,d,..} on Debian.
Or the VM has a NIC(E1000\VMNET2\VMNET3) which allows it to access the SAN\NAS directly using some internal network.

You should know how you configured your system.
For example GlusterFS is NAS.
When using VMWARE Vsphear\ESXi the most commonly used in the SMB to SME level of uses is a shared NFS for a cluster of VMWARE machines. There are couple other cases. For DB servers the most commonly used practice I know of is letting the DB server mange the storage as a DAS(SATA\SAS\SCSI) with the exception of ISCSI that is mainly replaces DAS over dedicated links with kinds of fiber instead of a copper link(s).

If you just attached a new disk on-top of the datastore it's one thing and if you attached an ISCSI volume directly to the Debian VM or mounted a NFS share it's a different use case.
