Thanks for reporting.
This may be the same issue as described here:

I am on 4.4.8.6-1.el8, installed a couple days ago from the ovirt node ISO. In
particular, I noticed if I SSH into the hosted engine and tail -f
/var/log/ovirt-imageio/daemon.log, in the failure case I get something like:
2021-09-30 08:15:52,330 INFO (Thread-8) [http] OPEN connection=8
client=::ffff:192.168.1.53
2021-09-30 08:16:23,315 INFO (Thread-8) [http] CLOSE connection=8
client=::ffff:192.168.1.53 [connection 1 ops, 30.984947 s] [dispatch 1 ops, 0.000097 s]
There is no activity since the upload never started.
No activity in tail -f /var/log/ovirt-imageio/daemon.log on the host
(I only have one host) in the failure case, just the engine. In the success case, there is
activity in both logs.
It is very intermittent. Sometimes uploads work most of the time (maybe 4 out of 5), and
I've had other times that uploads do not work at all (0 out of 5).
I think when it's behaving particularly badly, restarting the engine (hosted-engine
--vm-shutdown, then hosted-engine --vm-start) helps, but I haven't figured out a
reliable pattern. (I am logged in as admin.) I've tried several browsers,
closing/reopening the browser, etc.
Hoping this info will help in tracking it down.
We tracked this down, and it is fixed upstream.
The fix should be available in 4.4.9.
See https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-engine/+/116861
Until this is fixed, you can upload using the SDK, which is also a
better way to upload and download
images anyway.
Install these packages on the host used for uploading:
dnf install ovirt-imageio-client python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4
(packages are already installed on hosts and engine)
Create ovirt configuration file if needed:
$ cat ~/.config/ovirt.conf
[my-engine]
engine_url = https://my-engine.example.com
username = admin@internal
password = mypassword
cafile = /path/to/cacert.pem
cafile can be downloaded from:
https://my-engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource...
Then you can upload using:
python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/upload_disk.py
-c my-engine --sd-name my-storage-domain /path/to/iso
See --help for more options.
