Basically follow what I wrote should do what you want. Then if you later want
to upgrade the engine from EL6 to EL7 you should be able to make a backup of
the engine with the engine-backup tool. Then install a fresh engine on EL7 and
restore the backup with that tool. Your VMs won't be affected if the engine is
gone for a little bit (well besides not being able to manage them during the
change over).

You must not configure firewall in backup restore procedure. Because EL6 backup uses iptables instead EL7 fresh install uses firewalld.
 



But as Didi wrote, right now EL6 is still supported so you can simply upgrade
to oVirt 3.6 on EL6.
