# OCI NIC attachment

# OCI NIC attachment pattern-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated July 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds OCI virtual network interface cards (VNICs) attachment records in your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

## Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements {#oracle-nic-attachment-pattern__section_rpj_fj2_bgc}

Verify the REST API permissions
:   Download the [Cloud Discovery patterns spreadsheet](https://downloads.docs.servicenow.com/resource/enus/api/servicenow-discovery-patterns-api-details.xlsx) so you can grant user permissions required for running the Discovery patterns. In addition to permissions, the spreadsheet also includes useful information such as pattern names, types, CI Classes, and links to vendor documentation. New patterns are available quarterly, so check periodically to be sure you have the latest version of the spreadsheet.{#oracle-nic-attachment-pattern__cloud-discovery-api-ph-short-prereq}

Verify the OCI discovery prerequisites
:   For more information, see the prerequisites section in [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cQhDQlR5AKA0e3vdDdSSGg "ServiceNow Discovery uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) discovery patterns to provide real-time elasticity for enterprise applications by combining Oracle autonomous services, integrated security, and cloud compute. Discovering some of these resources might require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.").

Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
:   Discovering OCI GovCloud accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an OCI service account. For more information, see [Create OCI service accounts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Mfvl~mYZP9TwzjqAPuihqA "Create Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service accounts on the ServiceNow AI Platform to access your Oracle account during Oracle discovery.").

## Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery {#oracle-nic-attachment-pattern__section_ggp_ql2_bgc}

Discovery populates the data in the CMDB when running the Oracle OCI - NIC Attachment (LP) pattern.  
{#oracle-nic-attachment-pattern__table_endpoint_vnic__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | VNIC attachment identifier, set to the attachment ID. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | Unique identifier, allocated by OCI for this resource. |
| Install Status \[install_status\] | Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed. |
| Operational status \[operational_status\] | Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational. |

{#oracle-nic-attachment-pattern__table_endpoint_subnet__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Name \[name\] | Subnet identifier, set to the subnet ID. |
| Object ID \[object_id\] | Unique identifier, allocated by OCI for this resource. |

## CI relationships {#oracle-nic-attachment-pattern__section_dc4_ghc_dgc}

The Oracle OCI - NIC Attachment (LP) pattern creates the following relationships to support OCI NIC attachment discovery.

| CI | Relationship | CI |
|-|-|-|
| Virtual Machine Instance \[cmdb_ci_vm_instance\] | Use End Point To::Use End Point From | VNIC Endpoint \[cmdb_ci_endpoint_vnic\] |
| VNIC Endpoint \[cmdb_ci_endpoint_vnic\] | Implement End Point To::Implement End Point From | Cloud Mgmt Network Interface \[cmdb_ci_nic\] |
