Symptom

The following error is received if a user attempts to start an upgrade on a 7.1 FMC without running a Readiness Check on the FMC or the device to be upgraded first: --------------- Error Cannot start upgrade. One or more devices have failed or never run readiness checks. Run checks again or select only valid devices. --------------- Since the readiness check is now a requirement, the message should be modified to state the readiness check is required. Something like the following would be more specific and helpful for the user: --------------- A Readiness Check must be run on this prior to upgrading. If you have already run a Readiness Check on this and the Readiness Check failed, do . ---------------

Conditions
