Start and stop resources with the crsctl start resource and crsctl stop resource commands. Manually starting or stopping resources outside of Oracle Clusterware can invalidate the resource status. In addition, Oracle Clusterware may attempt to restart a resource on which you perform a manual stop operation.
To start an application resource that is registered with Oracle Clusterware, use the crsctl start resource command. For example:
$ crsctl start resource myApache

The command waits to receive a notification of success or failure from the action program each time the action program is called. Oracle Clusterware can start application resources if they have stopped due to exceeding their failure threshold values. You must register a resource using crsctl add resource before you can start it.
Running the crsctl start resource command on a resource sets the resource TARGET value to ONLINE. Oracle Clusterware attempts to change the state to match the TARGET by running the action program with the start action.
If a cluster server fails while you are starting a resource on that server, then check the state of the resource on the cluster by using the crsctl status resource command.
