Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
fabric -	common ← A B	The fabric configuration of the VSAN. This can be one of the following: common - The VSAN maps to the same VSAN ID in all available fabrics. A - The VSAN maps to the a VSAN ID that exists only in fabric A. B - The VSAN maps to the a VSAN ID that exists only in fabric B.
fc_zoning -	disabled ← enabled	Fibre Channel zoning configuration for the Cisco UCS domain. Fibre Channel zoning can be set to one of the following values: disabled — The upstream switch handles Fibre Channel zoning, or Fibre Channel zoning is not implemented for the Cisco UCS domain. enabled — Cisco UCS Manager configures and controls Fibre Channel zoning for the Cisco UCS domain. If you enable Fibre Channel zoning, do not configure the upstream switch with any VSANs that are being used for Fibre Channel zoning.
hostname string / required		IP address or hostname of Cisco UCS Manager.
name - / required		The name assigned to the VSAN. This name can be between 1 and 32 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), "_" (underscore), : (colon), and . (period). You cannot change this name after the VSAN is created.
password string / required		Password for Cisco UCS Manager authentication.
port integer		Port number to be used during connection (by default uses 443 for https and 80 for http connection).
proxy string		If use_proxy is no, specfies proxy to be used for connection. e.g. 'http://proxy.xy.z:8080'
state -	present ← absent	If present, will verify VSANs are present and will create if needed. If absent, will verify VSANs are absent and will delete if needed.
use_proxy boolean	no yes ←	If no, will not use the proxy as defined by system environment variable.
use_ssl boolean	no yes ←	If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username string	Default: "admin"	Username for Cisco UCS Manager authentication.
vlan_id - / required		The unique string identifier assigned to the VLAN used for Fibre Channel connections. Note that Cisco UCS Manager uses VLAN '4048'. See the UCS Manager configuration guide if you want to assign '4048' to a VLAN. Optional if state is absent.
vsan_id - / required		The unique identifier assigned to the VSAN. The ID can be a string between '1' and '4078', or between '4080' and '4093'. '4079' is a reserved VSAN ID. In addition, if you plan to use FC end-host mode, the range between '3840' to '4079' is also a reserved VSAN ID range. Optional if state is absent.
