SRVCTL vs CRSCTL Difference between SRVCTL and CRSCTL

 

Difference on using SRVCTL and CRSCTL commands:

Use SRVCTL to manage Oracle-supplied resources such as
Listener,
Instances,
Disk groups,
Networks.

Use CRSCTL for managing Oracle Clusterware and its resources.
 
Oracle strongly discourages directly manipulating Oracle-supplied resources (resources whose names begin with ora) using CRSCTL.  This could adversely impact the cluster configuration.

If resource name begins with ora then use SRVCTL
