Need assistance with building new deduplication pool

[bsims2015]

I have installed a new media server and am looking to create an associated deduplicaiton pool for it.  I have never done this before and would like some assistance from more experienced users.

Media server OS:  Rhel 6.7

NBU version: Enterprise 7.7.2

The deduplication guide doesn't cover the server side configuration and that is where I need the most assistance.  Below are the steps i assume I need to take on the server.  Please verify.

-attach disk storage lun; fiber channel attached and zoned in (/dev/mapper/mpathx)

-install file system on new lun (mkfs.ext /dev/mapper/mpathx)

-create new mountpoint for lun (/dedup_pool) 

-add entry to fstab

(/dev/mapper/mpathx  /dedup_pool  ext4  defaults  0 0)

-mount lun (mount /dedup_pool)

-proceed to create new media server deduplication pool in gui or cmd line.

Are there any special parameters when creating the file sytem that will be beneficial to the efficiency of NBU operations?  Thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

In future, rather post in NetBackup forum as MSDP is part of NetBackup (although the diskpool type is PureDisk).

PureDisk as a separate product has been discontinued.
