If your hosts are already EL7, you can take a look at the upgrade manager
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/
upgrademanager/
see also the following demo video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDzBNKu5pyQ&feature=youtu.be

Otherwise you'll have to reinstall hosts with EL7 one by one.

After all the hosts were upgraded you simply need to change all your
clusters' compatibility level to 4.0 and finally the Data Center's
compatibility level to 4.0.

Regarding your Storage Domains (ISO, NFS, iSCSI) there shoul not be any
additional changes as far as I know since all of them will use the same
version (V3) for engine 3.6 and 4.0.
