You can configure notification alarms to remind you prior to the upgrade. See "Configuring Device Upgrade Notification Alarms". Once the device upgrade operation is completed, you must then manually complete the post-upgrade checklist for each of the upgraded devices. If you schedule an upgrade to run on multiple devices, if the upgrade fails for one device, the upgrade operation is canceled for all of the devices in the schedule. In the case of a failed upgrade, in order to run the upgrade again, you must manually cancel the existing upgrade plan then create a new upgrade plan.
