or it is not necessary?

This is not necessary but it should not cause any problems if you do it. Because your PATH has /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, MinimServer will use /usr/local/bin/java if both versions are installed.

I upgraded the firmware on the WD unpacked file ejre-7u75-FCS-b13-linux-ppc-Headless-18_dec_2014.tar.gz folder /shares/Public/Java/ejre1.7.0_75
put the path /shares/Public/Java/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java ln -s / usr / local / bin / java
but when I type java - version

-bash: line 7: java: command not found
if I write the test command ls -l /shares/Public/Java/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java
He says:

ls: can not access /shares/Public/Java/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java: No such file or directory

You have unpacked the .tar.gz file to the wrong directory. It needs to be unpacked to the directory /shares/Public/Java.

You have unpacked the .tar.gz file to the wrong directory. It needs to be unpacked to the directory /shares/Public/Java.

I solved this way:

Place the downloaded file in the /usr/java/latest directory.
From the /usr/java/latest directory, unpack the tarball and install the JRE:
$ sudo tar zxvf ejre-7u75-fcs-b13-linux-ppc-headless-18_dec_2014.gz
The JRE files are installed into a directory called jre-7u_75.

Tell the system that there's a new Java version available:

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/java/latest/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java" 1

sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/java/latest/ejre1.7.0_75/bin/java
