1U with suspected dead lan port

No, unfortunately there is no way to reach the server's interface without a working ethernet port. If the goal is to reach the content on the disk set, and the set is not corrupted for some reason, you could move the complete set to another 1U (empty), and view the content that way. (Thanks Rusty!)

In fact, the chassis doesn't even have to be another 1U. You can put a disk set from a 1U into a 3U and it'll work just fine (although the system will give you a warning that it's operating without a hot spare).

The only caveat is if your current disk set is comprised of 10TB drives from a 1U+. Those will only work in another 1U+ chassis. They won't work in 1U or 3U chassis.
 
Thanks for additional info John (I should have mentioned the 3U as well)!

Is it possible to gain access to the interface of a 1U server if the Lan port is not working?

What about the LAN port is not working? Is it a physical issue and the port really cannot be used or is it that you don't know the assigned IP address?

If it's physical, well the guys above have answered well enough as I too will assume the 1U is out of warranty.

If it's an unknown IP issue, you can use a managed Ethernet switch and use the static ARP technique to get to the device.

Hope this helps.
 
Good point Calm, I answered based on his description and assumed it had been confirmed as a Ethernet port failure on the Server, which has happened to others in the past. Unusual, but does happen.
