I have deployed ELK-7 , All the pods have come up successfully , But kibana pod shows this error .

```
Another Kibana instance appears to be migrating the index. Waiting for that migration to complete. If no other Kibana instance is attempting migrations, you can get past this message by deleting index .kibana_1 and restarting Kibana.

```

Here I am doing a fresh installation of kibana.

After Deleting the .kibana\_1 index & restart the Kibana pod , Kibana started working fine.

Has anyone face the same error during a fresh installation of kibana , And How to overcome this issue ?
