Setup SharePoint 2010 with some Metalogix StoragePoint and there is certainly an order of operations to creating a new site and setting up the BLOB offloading.  I’m going to plan on doing more detail in the future, but this was the quick and dirty.

NEW SITE:

• Create ContentDB in SharePoint
• Run PowerShell command to create Host Based Site
• Create Storage EndPoint in Metalogix StoragePoint
• Create Storage Profile in Metalogix StoragePoint
• Analyze and Estimate
• Verify
• Then Externalize

EXISTING SITE – Migration from other SharePoint Farm

• Create Backup of existing site
• Move .bak file
• Create ContentDB in SharePoint
• Run PowerShell command to create Host Based Site
• Restore Backup of site
• Test site and verify that is operational
• Create Storage EndPoint in Metalogix StoragePoint
• Create Storage Profile in Metalogix StoragePoint
• Analyze and Estimate
• Verify
• Then Externalize

These are extreme HIGH level steps, there is a ton of detail in each bullet point.  These steps may NOT work for you or your environment.
