This OID reports, as a Gauge32 counter, how many attempts UCS Manager has made at the current or most recent FSM operation on an ImportRoot object — the top-level record UCS Manager keeps for one configuration-import ("moref", managed-object-reference) operation that is restoring a previously exported configuration. An admin watches this retry count climb to recognize a workflow that keeps failing and re-attempting rather than one that succeeded cleanly on the first try. For example, seeing this counter reach a high value on a particular ImportRoot instance while its status still shows "in progress" is a strong signal to intervene manually instead of waiting for UCS Manager to keep retrying.
