So this is not a bug with document, we have had a bug to trace the repo issue of RHVH 4.4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1779459
Try to enable the repo "rhvh-4-beta-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms", it can be enabled successfully now, but the packages in the repo are still not ready.
[root@lenovo-sr630-09 ~]# imgbase w
You are on rhvh-4.4.0.21-0.20200518.0+1
