In ansible playbooks, handlers (such as to restart a service) normally happen at the end of a run.
If you need ansible to run a handler between two tasks, there is "flush_handlers".

This is how to get serial port console working on a Ubuntu 16.04 (or any systemd based OS) and how to access it with idrac/ssh.
To get serial port working on a running system:
systemctl enable [email protected]
systemctl start [email protected]
Update Grub:
To get serial console during boot up, including the grub menu:
Go ahead and edit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0"
GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial"
# also, it takes so long to boot a server, adding 10
# second to the grub menu is more good than harm
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
Access it via idrac
ssh <idrac-ip> console com2

I browse pornhub for the articles. Not only is this an interesting article on the drop in traffic during the Hawaii Missile Alert, I also discovered that their insight's blog has a lot of good data analysis type articles.
