A database system that incorporates numerous features that reduce the total cost of maintaining the database system is provided. That database system includes a database appliance that executes a database server on a platform that includes a special purpose operating system specifically tailored to the services required by the database server. The database appliance configures itself by detecting the environment in which it resides and setting operational parameters based on the detected environment. The configuration metadata of all components of the system are stored in a centralized repository which itself may reside external to the system. Both the database server configuration and the operating system configuration are managed by a remotely located integrated management console, which interacts with and configures the system at the database system level, the operating system level and, optionally, at the hardware subsystem level. Backup management may also be performed remotely. The remote components, such as the integrated management console, the backup server, and the configuration repository, may communicate with the system through a wide area network, such as the Internet, or directly through a dial-up connection.

Techniques for automatically adding a database device to a network of database devices include sending a first request from the database device over the network in response to detecting that the database device is connected to the network. In response to the first request, the database device receives data that identifies a database device-management server. The database device sends a second request to the database device-management server. The second request identifies the database device and requests that the device-management server register the database device as a database device on the network in response to the second request. The new database device may be a database appliance having a database process and a special purpose operating system tailored to the database process. With these techniques, a new database device can be plugged into a network and be automatically discovered, registered, and assigned management tasks without human intervention. This alleviates the load on human operators and makes adding database device to a network more reliable and simple.
