>From Steve Adams:

http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/filesystemio_options.htm

"Similarly, the parameter may need to be set to either directIO or setall to avoid buffered I/O against file systems that support direct I/O but do not provide a direct I/O mount option."

Solaris does provide a direct I/O option so you don't need to touch filesystemio_options. In addition, "setall" enables async I/O which I don't think you can do against a UFS volume. (Or CAN you?)
