Description

We have tests where we cleanup existing cluster and reinstall Ambari again -
perform install, setup and start Ambari server. Starting up AMbari server is
failing with the below erro

Using python /usr/bin/python
Starting ambari-server
ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.
REASON: Unable to detect a system user for Ambari Server.

• If this is a new setup, then run the "ambari-server setup" command to create the user
• If this is an upgrade of an existing setup, run the "ambari-server upgrade" command.
  Refer to the Ambari documentation for more information on setup and upgrade.

Please see the logs [here](http://qelog.hortonworks.com/log/nat-os-d7-luls-
ambari-blueprints-3/test-logs/ambari-blueprints/artifacts/screenshots/com.hw.a
mbari.ui.tests.heavyweights.TestSingleNodeClustersViaBlueprint/testA_PrepareCl
uster/_23_0_54_11_Exceptions_appeared_during_install/test_logs/test_TestSingle
NodeClustersViaBlueprint_debug.log). We can see that at the beginning Ambari
server is up and running fine. BUt after cleanup and reinstall server is not
coming up. Could you please help take a look.
