Your configuration probably did not install and it may have reverted to default management IP address. If it's a physical appliance, you may be able to access it with AOM (Always On Management) IP address. If that's not setup or if the box does not support AOM, you're out of luck here.

 

Do you have a contact with someone who is present at the data center? Either boot it back to v12 partition, or ask him to use the front panel to configure management IP to what it should be (he can also confirm if this has changed)
