Like all other Business Network cards, "PeerAdmin@hlfv1" is stored in wallet directory, "~/.composer/cards", on your local computer:

$ cd ~/.composer/cards

$ ls -l 
drwxr-x--- 3 fyicenter 4096 Apr  1 20:00 PeerAdmin@hlfv1

$ ls -l PeerAdmin@hlfv1
-rw-r----- 1 fyicenter  690 Apr  1 20:00 connection.json
drwxr-x--- 2 fyicenter 4096 Apr  1 20:00 credentials
-rw-r----- 1 fyicenter   73 Apr  1 20:00 metadata.json

$ ls -l PeerAdmin@hlfv1/credentials/
