 - **`mspConfigPath`**: (Default value should be overridden.) This is the path to the peer's local MSP, which must be created before the peer can be deployed. The path can be absolute or relative to `FABRIC_CFG_PATH` (by default, it is `/etc/hyperledger/fabric` in the peer image). Unless an absolute path is specified to a folder named something other than "msp", the peer defaults to looking for a folder called “msp” at the path (in other words, `FABRIC_CFG_PATH/msp`) and when using the peer image: `/etc/hyperledger/fabric/msp`. If you are using the recommended folder structure described in the [Registering and enrolling identities with a CA](https://hyperledger-fabric-ca.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/deployguide/use_CA.html) topic, it would be relative to the FABRIC_CFG_PATH as follows:
-`config/organizations/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/peers/peer0.org1.example.com/msp`
+`config/organizations/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/peers/peer0.org1.example.com/msp`. **The best practice is to store this data in persistent storage**. This prevents the MSP from being lost if your peer containers are destroyed for some reason.
