Cause
The server.xml file has the wrong server name in <process:Server> tag.
 
Resolving the problem
In this case the problem occurred for server WebSphere_portal.

The server.xml file has following entry :
<process:Server xmi:id="Server_1" name="server1">

but it should be:

<process:Server xmi:id="Server_1" name="WebSphere_Portal">

You can find this server.xml file under /WebSphere_Install_Root
/config/cells/cellname/nodes/nodename/servers/problamatic_server.

Note: Make sure the <process:Server> tag has the right server name entry.
