Please check your Data Centers and Clusters compatibility versions. See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1371366 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359514 Best,

Hi Alon, you just need the backup/restore backup procedure if you have to change the OS of the server where you installed your engine. It it was already at el7 you don't need that. In every case the upgrade to 4.0 is requiring that all your cluster and all your data center should be at 3.6 compatibility level before the upgrade.
From the error you got, it seams that you still have something at 3.5.

And in any case this can be your friend for dependencies in updating datacenters/cluster to 3.6: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualizat... For their general concepts (in 3.6): https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualizat... https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualizat...
