Github user nathanejohnson commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1645 @wido I don't know that the management server knows explicitly, it doesn't actually seem to store the disk image format in the snapshot related tables at all, only in volumes as far as I can tell. However, I don't believe the management server ever does anything with the snapshot backup on secondary other than deleting it whenever the corresponding snapshot is deleted, and for that it doesn't actually care what format it's in.
