Solution
Edit this DeploymentService.properties from /WPS_HOME/shared/app/config/services and change following property :

From : was.admin.host = localhost

To: was.admin.host = actual_machine_hostname

Re-start the portal server that would resolve portlet deploy issue if customer is getting above exception .

Note: This may not be a final solution in all the cases where in above exceptions gets thrown but we are able to resolve the above problem using this solution . So if still problem exists please open up a problem management record with ibm support for assistance.
