Hi Onkar,

Have you tries running <opatch lsinventory>?  I have not run opatch on a portal 
installation but have done so many times on Oracle Apps.  I run the lsinventory 
command to verify opatch is working correctly.  The few problems I have run 
into deal with wrong binaries in path i.e. wrong "AR" binary on an HPUX system. 
 I have also run into un-updated entries in various inventory XML files after 
clones.  Is this a windows install?  If so, have you checked your MKS install?

HTH,
Lon White
