The configuration data is stored on the disk devices themselves, at least primarily.
There is also a copy of the basic configuration data in the file /etc/zfs/zpool.cache on the boot device. If this file is missing, ZFS will not automatically import pools, but you can manually import them. (I’m not sure how ZFS deals with the typical mirror failure case: Configure a mirror between A and B; run for a while with B failed; reboot and B is visible but A fails on reboot — the goal is to avoid running on the stale mirror data, B. I’m not sure if the zpool.cache handles this [it would have to track the state of individual devices].)
