filesystemio_options oracle 9i hpux

Hi

I am handling a 700GB Apps 11.5.10 database running on HP-UX PARi(went live
last week). The performance is quite poor, I noticed that
filesystemio_options by default is asynch. AFAIK there are three options,
asynch, direct and setall, should this set to none if AIO and directio arent
used?

I guess it has to use asynch (even though AIO is not supported in HPUX if
raw device is not used) since direct i/o is not enabled. I deduced this
because in fstab thse options are not used

nodatainlog,mincache=direct,convosync=direct

My experience in hpux is limited, worked with Solaris most of times. Does
anyone know if enabling these options in Veritas JFS will make lot of
difference? After enabling that do I have to set filesystemio_options to
directio?

Thanks

Alex
