Did you installed the appliance on that host from its rpm or did you simply copied it under /usr/share ?
Please reopen if you can provide the needed info.

Hello, I manually copied the appliance to the location /usr/share.
In the appliance there is also a description file under /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/10-appliance.conf, you need that as well.
Hello , While installation of hosted engine setup from cockpit, setup is unable to detect .ova file placed in /usr/share. Customer has downloaded the .ova file from RHN portal and copied it into /usr/share but while installation through cockpit it fails to detect the ova file. In the file under /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/10-appliance.conf we have specified the path but still deployment fails with error message "No engine appliance image is available on your system." The only option to use rhevm-appliance from RHV 4.1 is while selecting "Yes" option when deployment script ask Do you want to install ovirt-engine-appliance rpm? (Yes, No) [Yes]:"", manual copy of ova file not work ? - Pawan

Hello Simone, Then I would like to know the significance of OVA image provided in the portal for download: RHEV-M Appliance for 4.1.2 https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/150/ver=4.1/rhel---7/4.1/x86_64/product-software If appliance can only be downloaded from rpm, then this image is for what purpose?
I think that now we can remove it from the portal.
