Hi, 

Are you able to SSH the server if so you canAdd a new VMkernel network interface.

esxcli <conn_options> network ip interface add --interface-name=vmk<X> --portgroup-name=<my_portgroup>

And assign IPV4 address 

esxcli <conn_options> network ip interface ipv4 set --ipv4=<ip_address> --netmask=255.255.255.0 --type=<value> --interface-name=vmk<X>

The likely easiest way to fix this issue is to logon to the host's DCUI (direct console), and configure the Management Network from there.
