To use ansible with Cisco UCS Manager, you need to install the SDK on your ansible server.

root@c86d023821ff:~# pip list | grep ucs
ucsmsdk 0.9.10

Then you can create a simple inventory file with the UCS Manager IP.

Example:

root@c86d023821ff:~# cat inv_ucs
[ucs]
10.0.100.162

Then you can create a simple playbook to add one vlan:

root@c86d023821ff:~# cat ucs_vlan.yml
---
- name: ENSURE APPLICATION CONFIGURATION EXISTS
  hosts: ucs
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

  - name: Configure VLAN
    ucs_vlans:
      hostname: 10.0.100.162
      username: ucspe
      password: ucspe
      name: TheVlan11
      id: '11'
      native: 'no'

And finally you can run it:

root@c86d023821ff:~# ansible-playbook ucs_vlan.yml -i inv_ucs
PLAY [ENSURE APPLICATION CONFIGURATION EXISTS] *
TASK [Configure VLAN] **
[WARNING]: Platform linux on host 10.0.100.162 is using the discovered Python interpreter at /usr/bin/python, but
future installation of another Python interpreter could change this. See
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html for more information.
changed: [10.0.100.162]
PLAY RECAP *
10.0.100.162 : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

Now your vlan ID 11 is available on the UCS Fabric Interconnect.

You can use the module ansible ucs_vlan_find to get all vlans:

root@c86d023821ff:~# cat ucs_vlan.yml
---
- name: ENSURE APPLICATION CONFIGURATION EXISTS
  hosts: ucs
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False

  tasks:

  - name: Get All Vlans
    ucs_vlan_find:
      hostname: 10.0.100.162
      username: ucspe
      password: ucspe
      pattern: '.'
    register: vlans
    tags:
    - showvlan

  - name: Display vlans
    debug:
      var: vlans
    tags:
    - showvlan

Result:

root@c86d023821ff:~# ansible-playbook ucs_vlan.yml -i inv_ucs --tags showvlan
