You should read these documents

The upgrading process is rather simple. You just run the installation DVD on the media server. Make sure that you have made a copy of the Data and Catalog directories under the BE installation directory before you do the upgrade, so that you can revert if need be.

In addition to the above comment make sure...
1) You have BE15 license handy, if not call Symantec Licensing Team to obtain a copy.
2) Once upgrade is done run live update multiple times to install all the latest updates.
3) Once all the updates are installed on the media server than push install updates on the remote
server to update the remote agent.
