Not sure what you mean but...

# echo | format

will show the disks / luns presented to your system.

If your talking about filesystems then the fstyp command will display the file system used.

# fstyp /dev/dsk/cxtxdxsx

You can use the fstyp command to find out what filesystem a device or partition is.
The command below shows that the root partition on my system is on a ufs filesystem.
c0t0d0s0 = Controller 0, Target 0, Disk 0, Slice 0
# fstyp /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
ufs

A df command will show your mount points.
bash-3.00# df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 6.9G 3.6G 3.2G 54% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices
ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract
proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
<.....SNIP.....>

Code:
format

command will show you the details.
But you should have root access or a privileged user to be able to run that command..
