Hi,

You'll need to contact Symantec or your Symantec partner. The migrations such as this requires consulting services since you want to change the hostname and version. 6.5 isn't supported anymore, and also not supported on 2012 R2

The ONLY DIY migration that can be done is to same NBU version with same hostname.

Anything else needs Consulting services:
