I have 3 media servers and CASO on backup exec 2012 version.
I never see instraction how to upgrade to 2014.
What must i do first?
Upgrade first CASO? or media servers?
Can I upgrade to 2014 only CASO and one media server? will media servers(version 2012) work with CASO 2014 version?

Upgrade is pretty straight forward. Just have copies of your Data & Catalog folders prior to running the BE 2014 installer.

CASO upgrade is required first and if needed, over a period of time the other MMS servers must be upgraded as well.

Existing BE 2012 MMS servers will work with BE 2014 CASO for rolling upgrade purposes.

Thank You.

And about method to keep the Catalogs. Is it better to keep it centralized during upgrade?

It shouldn't matter. You can keep the existing settings as it is. Though, if you do keep it centralized during the upgrade, the catalogs are at a single location (i.e. the CASO) server and it becomes easier to backup.
