direct reads and writes on Solaris

Can someone help me interpret this set of data correctly?
The (vxfs) filesystem is mounted with these options:
/db51 on /dev/vx/dsk/oracledg/db18 read/write/setuid/mincache=direct/delaylog/largefiles/ioerror=mwdisable/dev=3ac36c1
This is 9.2.0.8 on Solaris 9 (V490, Generic_122300-07) with VxFS 4.1.
I have the following line in a truss of a dedicated server process:
open("/db51/oradata/tccrt1/member_questions_d01.dbf", O_RDWR|O_DSYNC) = 9
I also have the following settings in the DB:
NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ disk_asynch_io boolean TRUE filesystemio_options string ASYNCH
The question(s):
I was expecting to see O_DIRECT in there somehow, but I'm thinking that maybe that's just on Linux, not Solaris. I don't see O_DIRECT listed in the open(2) manual page. I am also wondering if filesystemio_options needs to be "setall" instead of the current setting of "ASYNCH" in order to achieve directIO. Or, am I looking at the wrong thing to determine if directIO is enabled?
Thanks in advance!
Dan
