This standard StorageType object indicates whether this circuit's configuration row is stored persistently (non-volatile, surviving a reboot) or only in volatile memory (lost on restart), following the usual StorageType enumeration (volatile, nonVolatile, permanent, etc.). An admin provisioning a circuit that must survive a device reboot needs to confirm or set this to nonVolatile rather than leaving it at a volatile default, or the circuit definition will vanish after the next restart. For example, a circuit created via a temporary management session with StorageType left as volatile(2) would disappear the next time the device is power-cycled, requiring reprovisioning.
