Storage LUNs formatted with the VMFS or NFS mounts are generally referred to as datastores. All the datastores seen by an ESXi host can be viewed separately in the vCenter Web Client GUI or by using a CLI command.

Using the vSphere Web Client to view the datastores
Using the ESXi CLI to view the datastores
