Hi Angela, Your command lines look fine to me - the warnings are normal and nothing to worry about.
The warmup just means that the statistics will be reset after that many instructions, so that your actual simulation statistics will be from a warm cache. That way, all the cold misses from filling up an empty cache are not counted in your run.
