Open Stack

You could rise an exception if ports are specified for all nics. [1]
I'm not sure that logging of this case is helpful, because only admins can
access to logs.
Probably the better way to warn a user is to do it at client side by nova
cli (i.e. no any modification of nova server is needed).

[1] It returns us back to the original Matt's question.
I suppose that most people, which tried to specify security groups with
ports, already found that it doesn't do work properly. And now they don't
use them together. Other part, which didn't found this, have the error in
their scripts (because they start instances with no expected groups). So
rising an error in this case could be useful.
In my turn, i used these parameters together (
https://github.com/stackforge/ec2-api/blob/master/ec2api/api/instance.py#L770)
to do a workaround of a strange bug (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1384347), which is not actual since
Juno. I believe OpenStack could not support compatibility for such
workarounds.

Finlally, the only my concern is the case with two nics, mentioned at the
beginning.
