    Please reboot for new kernel to take into effect and run this installer again.
    Exiting!

    [user@localhost ~]$ sudo reboot



    The default Centos-7 kernel image is switched to ZettaLane Linux kernel 3.10.0-693.zl7.x86_64.  This is required for our special port of Open-ZFS that is tightly integrated with Linux kernel. The compute instance will be rebooted to activate the new kernel after successful completion of step-1.

  2.  Running the installer again will proceed with installation of relevant packages for MayaNAS operation this time.  At the end it will prepare the Web based management console and provide you with a randomly generated password for the default admin login account  Please make a note that information.
