Rajupt,
You need get the packs CLT, JAVA and 7.0.1 for your distribution (LINUX), or download the packs for Windows.

On the Master Server and Media Server
1 - Extract all of packs on the same folder and run the NB_update.install file. First chose the pack 7.0.1 and after chose the pack CLT and finally chose the pack JAVA.
On the client
2 - Run the same file NB_update.install and chose the CLT update Option on each client in the your environment.

You can download 7.0 from FileConnect: https://fileconnect.symantec.com/
You will need the Serial number on your license certificate to download.
7.0.1 is a patch and can be downloaded from: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH139088
LOTS of documentation available - start with the Upgrade Portal: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH74584 and explore all the links found on this page.
All 7.0 manuals: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126327

Symantec sends you an "Upgrade Notification" if your maintenance is up-to-date. Your local Symantec partner should send you an invoice when maintence renewal is due (some users take one-year maintenance when they purchase, others 3 year maintenance).
The upgrade notification contains a Serial number that will give you download links for 7.0.
You don't need new license keys for the upgrade, but you do need the new Serial # to download the software.

Before you upgrade your master, make sure that you don't have any media servers below 6.5.3.
We ran into some major issues because we had a few remote media servers that were still at 6.0 MP6.
