On a MountInstFsmStage object -- one individual stage/step inside that NFS-mount FSM task -- cucsNfsMountInstFsmStageOrder is a Gauge32 counter/value representing this stage's position in the ordered sequence of steps the FSM task must execute. An admin monitors this number because it quantifies the internal progress or configuration of that specific MountInstFsmStage instance's operation, which is otherwise invisible outside UCS Manager's own FSM engine. For example, a rising or stalled value on cucsNfsMountInstFsmStageOrder tells the admin whether the MountInstFsmStage instance's task is actively making progress or has stopped moving forward.
