@Mondi You can choose any convenient path. Both CM/CDH 5.x and 6.x support RHEL7.2.

So you can upgrade the CM/CDH first and then perform an OS upgrade. See the below docs for help.

First, check the OS compatibility by using a given doc link https://docs.cloudera.com/cdp/latest/upgrade-cdh/topics/ug_os_upgrade_before.html then, if the OS version is fine then you can go ahead and upgrade your Cluster.

Also, I have checked the CM/CDH version 6.3.x is supporting RHEL 7.2. So you can go ahead and upgrade your CDH cluster. Please find the below document to upgrade CDH cluster.
