On a MountInstFsmStage object -- one individual stage/step inside that NFS-mount FSM task -- cucsNfsMountInstFsmStageRetry is a Gauge32 counter/value representing how many times UCS Manager has retried this FSM stage after it failed to complete. 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 cucsNfsMountInstFsmStageRetry tells the admin whether the MountInstFsmStage instance's task is actively making progress or has stopped moving forward.
