As long as you are sure that your deices have adequate memory and flash to handle the image you are going to load then you can probably ignore those messages. Those are just warnings . In the image library you are supposed to specify the ram , nvram and minimum bootflash requirements for each image , CW then checks each device to see if it has enough of all those parmameters to load the image . If you have not done that then it is warning you that it cannot determine if the device has enough space because the parmameters were not defined . Either define the parameters or manually check and make sure the device has enough ram.nvram and bootflash space.
