The volume is downloaded by the SSVM into secondary storage under the volumes directory. It will sit there until you choose to attach it somewhere, at which point a CopyCommand will be sent to a hypervisor that has access to the primary storage for the cluster on which the target VM is running to copy from secondary to primary. This will be handled by the appropriate StorageAdaptor for the primary storage type (most likely LibvirtStorageAdaptor, which will qemu-img it, converting to RAW format for RBD/LVM, or just a plain cp last I checked for QCOW2 to QCOW2).Then an AttachCommand will be sent to the hypervisor on which the target vm is running (if it is running) and it will be hotplugged.
