Take a look at the 'format' utility, it will show you the disks that you
have in use. Specifically, check the verify command and you'll see a
list of partitions.

Mostly though if you picked the default install options, zpool and zfs
commands will be all that you really need to learn and use.

This is a good diagram showing how disk devices work:
