This Gauge32 value reports the numeric progress percentage that the FSM that tracks state transitions of that FC SAN border uplink as it comes up or is reconfigured has reached in its current run. An admin watches this counter to see whether a long-running operation, such as bringing a fabric change up, is actually advancing or has stalled at a fixed percentage. For example, a value stuck at the same number across repeated polls would tell an admin this FSM has hung partway through, even before it times out or errors.
