This gauge counts how many times the FSM running against the physical-port object that tracks a fabric-interconnect port's configuration mode and the progress of its own discovery workflow has retried its current step. An administrator seeing a high fsmTry count on this Phys instance knows UCS Manager is struggling to complete that step and has been repeatedly re-attempting it rather than succeeding on the first pass. For example, a Phys instance whose fsmTry keeps climbing on every poll, without fsmStatus ever reaching completion, points the operator toward a persistent underlying fault rather than a one-off glitch.
