Can you post the output of the following commands:
1) paraview --version
2) glxinfo | grep OpenGL
Concerning different dataset types and volume rendering:
Are you sure that your dataset is recognized by ParaView as a structured
dataset? For instance, some simulation software packages produce always
unstructured dataset (e.g. OpenFOAM), even if you setup a completely
uniform grid.
Also some filter in ParaView produce unstructured grids (e.g. threshold
filter) no matter what the input type is.
The grid type is easy to check from the Information panel in ParaView.

That's weird. What version of ParaView are you using on your Debian 8?

Hi,
I checked "Volume Rendering Mode" but i could not see it in my case. It is
exist in my local laptop (Mac OS) but it is not in ParaView installed under
Debian 8.0. I think that after selecting representation type to Volume, it
must show up in the Properties menu. Right?

ParaVIew binaries don't ship with any OpenGL implementation. It uses
whatever OpenGL drivers setup on the machine it's being run. So long
as your environment is setup properly, ParaView will indeed use the
hardware available. However, not all rendering techniques in ParaView
will use the graphics card -- as Armin alluded to. Your dataset seems
like small enough that volume rendering should be pretty
instantaneous. What is the "Volume Rendering Mode" on the Properties
panel set to? It should be "Smart" by default -- that will ensure that
the graphics card is used, if possible.
