- If not already running, instantiate a Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance.
Note that we recommend a minimum 64-bit extra large image Virtuoso Release 7 AMI instance (ami-23d0334a) with 15GB of memory be used, which is an "Extra Large (m1.xlarge, 15GB)" AMI instance type.
- You can obtain a list of available Virtuoso public snapshots from the AWS Management Console by clicking the "Snapshot" link, selecting "Public Snapshots" from the viewing drop-down list, and searching for Virtuoso.
An EBS volume can be created for any of these snapshots and attached to a Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance.

- Select the "Volumes" link under the "Elastic Block Storage" section
- Click on the "Create Volume" button and set "Size" to 75GB, "Availability Zone" to match the zone of your running Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance and "Snaphot" to the required DBpedia AWS snapshot i.e.
DBpedia 3.10.
- Select the newly created volume and click on the "Attach Volume" button to attach the volume to the required Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance
- Select the "Instance" and "Device" to which the volume should be attached, and click "Attach"
- The volume will now be listed as "attached" to the specified Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance id.
- Ensure the
security group
used by the Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance allows access to the HTTP port 8890
-
ssh
into the Virtuoso EC2 AMI instance and create a directory for the Virtuoso DBpedia 3.10 snapshot volume attached previously to be mounted under.
$ ssh -i MyKeyPair.pem root@<ec2-ami-public-dns-cname>
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 ~]# cd /opt/virtuoso
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# ls
bin hosting lib virtuoso-environment.csh vsp
database install vad virtuoso-environment.sh
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# . ./virtuoso-environment.sh
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# mkdir dbpedia
- Mount the Virtuoso DBpedia 3.10 snapshot volume.
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# mount /dev/sdf /opt/virtuoso/dbpedia
- Check the mount point to ensure the operation was successful.
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# ls -l /opt/virtuoso/dbpedia/

- To run the newly attached data set, first set up your Virtuoso environment, and ensure the default database instance has been stopped.
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 ~]# cd /opt/virtuoso
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# . ./virtuoso-environment.sh
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 virtuoso]# virtuoso-stop.sh
- Note that as stated in step 1, it is recommended these DBpedia snaphots be used with a minimum 64-bit extra large image Virtuoso Release 7.1 AMI instance (ami-23d0334a) with 15GB of memory.
Should you choose to use the "large image" with only 7.5GB memory then the Virtuoso configuration file (virtuoso.ini) must be edited, and the "
NumberOfBuffers
" parameter therein reduced from 1000000
to 500000
before attempting to start the Virtuoso server instance; otherwise, it will fail to start due to lack of memory.
For more details please refer to the Virtuoso RDF Performance Tuning Guide in the online documentation.
- Change to the
/opt/virtuoso/dbpedia
directory and run the following command to start the Virtuoso server containing the attached DBpedia data set volume, in foreground (-f) mode.
[root@ip-10-187-61-10 dbpedia-3.10]# virtuoso -c virtuoso.ini -f

- Once satisfied the server is running correctly, type
Crtl^C
to shutdown the server running in foreground mode, and start it in background mode with the command virtuoso -c virtuoso.ini
.
- Note the preconfigured Virtuoso Server "dba" user's password is set to the default of "dba".
It is strongly recommended that this be changed to a suitably secure password using the System Admin -> User Accounts tab in the Virtuoso Conductor (
http://ec2-ami-public-dns-cname:8890/conductor/
).
- The Virtuoso hosted data set can now be explored using an HTML browser, or queried from the SPARQL or Faceted Browser web service endpoints.
For example, in the DBpedia datasets --
- A description of the resource Bob Marley can be viewed as:
http://ec2-ami-public-dns-cname:8890/resource/Bob_Marley
- A Faceted Search can be performed on a resource at
http://ec2-ami-public-dns-cname:8890/fct
- A SPARQL query can be run to obtain information on a resource at
