Let's say they didn't replace the Raid card ... is there a way to recover the work we did setting up the vm's

We had a problem with our Dell shutting down and reseting &nbsp;randomly. &nbsp;Dell replaced the motherboard but now we don't see any of the virtual machines that we set up. &nbsp;I thought all the xenserver info would be saved on the hard drives and don't understand why we can't see them. &nbsp;<br />

Is there a way to recover the information that should be there on the hard drives?<br />
Are there steps I have to take to make the server see the vm's that were there before the motherboard was replaced?<br />

We are running a Dell Poweredge with Xenserver and Xcalibur software to manage the vm's.

Recovery after replacing the motherboard

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
