Hello Shantur,

it seems your yum repos might be just misconfigured. The easiest way to configure it is to use one of the rpms provided:
$sudo yum install -y http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release-master.rpm
See this link for other releases (rpms) if master is not the right choice for you: 
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/

This rpm provides yum repo configs you need for installing vdsm hooks:

[root@host-vm yum.repos.d]# rpm -ql ovirt-release-master-4.4.8-0.0.master.20210825011136.git59df936.el8.noarch
/etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-master-dependencies.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-master-snapshot.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/node-optional.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-el8-ppc64le-deps.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-el8-stream-ppc64le-deps.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-el8-stream-x86_64-deps.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-el8-x86_64-deps.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-el9-stream-x86_64-deps.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-snapshot.repo
/usr/share/ovirt-release-master/ovirt-tested.repo

[root@host-vm yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-master-snapshot.repo
[ovirt-master-snapshot]
name=Latest oVirt master nightly snapshot
#baseurl=https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-master-snapshot/rpm/el$releasever/
mirrorlist=https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/mirrorlist-ovirt-master-snapshot-el$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
countme=1
fastestmirror=1

[ovirt-master-snapshot-static]
name=Latest oVirt master additional nightly snapshot
#baseurl=https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-master-snapshot-static/rpm/el$releasever/
mirrorlist=https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/mirrorlist-ovirt-master-snapshot-static-el$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
countme=1
fastestmirror=1


Now the hook installation should work:

[root@host-vm yum.repos.d]# yum repolist ovirt-master-snapshot -v

Hi all,

I am trying to install vdsm hooks (scratchpad) specifically.
I can see that there are rpms available in https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el8/noarch/ but when I try to install using yum it says it cannot find it.
Do I have to manually select the hook rpm and install it or am I missing something?

Kind regards,
Shantur
