1) Do not use CRSCTL commands on Oracle entities (such as resources, resource types, and server pools) that have names beginning with ora unless you are directed to do so by Oracle Support. The Server Control utility (SRVCTL) is the correct utility to use on Oracle entities.

2) in order to run crsctl command you must be connected as oracle user (for Linux, AIX, Unix servers)

3)  There are 3 categories of CRSCTL commands:

a)Dual Environment CRSCTL Commands
The following lists the various crsctl commands and their functions are available for both Oracle RAC and Oracle Restart environments:

crsctl add resource

crsctl delete type
crsctl get hostname

crsctl setperm resource
crsctl setperm type
crsctl start resource
crsctl status resource
crsctl status type
crsctl stop resource

2. Oracle ASM (if installed)
3. Cluster Synchronization Services
4. Cluster Time Synchronization Services
