Error

Illegal Local Mount Point Name

Symptoms

Unable to configure Brisque to submit jobs to Print Console when Prinergy is also submitting jobs to Print Console (when not using SCSI switch). The MountPro, which maps the Brisque to an external drive, complains that the local mount point is illegal, and won't map the drive. The local mount point is the Render station where both Print Console and the Prinergy exist.

Cause

In a Prinergy Workflow, all Render stations running Print Console have a hyphenated host name, for instance YCS527-250. Unfortunately, this naming convention does not work for the Brisque since the MountPro does not accept hyphenated names when trying to mount the Print Console exported volume. The MountPro complains that the “local Mount Point” name is illegal since it includes a hyphen. Unfortunately, the MountPro does not let you modify the Local Mount Point.

Solution

Either mount to the IP address, or modify the Host files on both systems (Prinergy Render Station and the Brisque) by adding a host name alias, for example, “Spectrum” in front of the actual hostname:

192.9.200.100    Spectrum    YCS527-250

Then connect to this host name alias instead of the host name. This allows the Prinergy & Brisque workflows to submit plates and proofs at the same time without using any SCSI switch box.
