Hi Hermant,

With version 11 ASM (ASM needs to be available on the node where the database 
lives), and when using Exadata, filesystemio_options is NOT relevant to the 
database processes when using files (redo, data, temp) on local ASM managed 
devices. 
I am not sure with version 12, probably the locality between the device and the 
ASM instance which it manages is relevant.

When using NFS underneath ASM, I've witnessed filesystemio_options being 
honoured by the database, which means it needs setting it to 'setall' for the 
combination AIO+DIO. Which makes sense, because you need to create a file on a 
(NFS) filesystem to be used as ASM disk device.
