Hi,
The message is caused by the Cisco PowerOn Auto Provisioning process. This is a feature that simplifies upgrading software and installing configuration files on new Cisco Nexus switches. This is not a problem assuming the switch has just been installed and has not yet been configured.
To stop the messages you simply press Y and return at the prompt "%POAP-2-POAP_INFO: Abort Power On Auto Provisioning and continue with normal setup ?(yes/no)[n]:"
Regards

I face the same issue with Cisco Nexus9000 C93180YC-FX3, not taking y (yes) in console, so I leave switch power on after 1 hour, just y (yes) and enter, do nothing extra.
