 * The QCOW version specifies to the qemu which qemu version the volume supports.

 * This field can be updated using the update API and will be reported only for QCOW volumes,
 * it is determined by the storage domain's version which the disk is created on.
 * Storage domains with version lower than V4 support QCOW2 version 2 volumes,
 * while V4 storage domains also support QCOW2 version 3.
 * For more information about features of the different QCOW versions, see http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Qcow3[here].
