Maybe you could ask your question in the HPE Instant On Community. That is a different product line, quite different from the HPE Aruba Networking products covered in these forums.

Subject: How to access Aruba switch if it is not discovered in the network?
Hi HPE community,
There were 2 x HPE Networking Instant On 1930 48p Gigabit CL4 PoE 4p SFP+ 370W switches most likely combined into stack over DAC cable.
The first switch has died but the second is still operable.
The problem is although it is up and running it is not discoverable and hence accessible from web interface.
Also, not accessible over SSH.
It is also not managed from Aruba Instant On portal.
Is there any way to access it?
Thanks.
