I'm confused by this. Creating a server takes a volume ID if you're 
booting from volume, and that's actually preferred (by nova devs) since 
then Nova doesn't have to orchestrate the creation of the volume in the 
compute service and then poll until it's available.

Same for ports - nova can create the port (default action) or get a port 
at server creation time, which is required if you're doing trunk ports 
or sr-iov / fancy pants ports.

Am I misunderstanding what you're saying is missing?
