A short list of syntax examples of a very nice little clustering tool called server control (srvctl):
The most important tip first. If your having a problem with the syntax,
try ending your command and arguments with '-h'...
srvctl add service -hUsage: srvctl add service -d < name > -s < service_name > -r " < preferred_list > " [-a " < available_list > "] [-P < TAF_policy > ]
-d < name > Unique name for the database
-s < service > Service name
-r " < pref_list > " List of preferred instances
-a " < avail_list > " List of available instances
-P < TAF_policy > TAF policy (NONE, BASIC, or PRECONNECT)
Usage: srvctl add service -d < name > -s < service_name > -u {-r " < new_pref_inst > " | -a " < new_avail_inst > "}
-d < name > Unique name for the database
-s < service > Service name
-u Add a new instance to service configuration
-r < new_pref_inst > Name of new preferred instance
-a < new_avail_inst > Name of new available instance
-h Print usage
Status of node applications (basic cluster components)
srvctl status nodeapps -n Srvctl status nodeapps –n raclinux1
VIP is running on node: raclinux1
GSD is running on node: raclinux1
Listener is running on node: raclinux1
ONS daemon is running on node: raclinux1

srvctl remove asm -n < NODENAME > -i < INSTANCE_NAME >
srvctl add service -d < DB_NAME > -s < SERVICE_NAME > -r "INST1,INST2,INST3"
srvctl modify service -d < DB_NAME > -i < INSTANCE > -s < SERVICE_NAME > -r (Setting preferred instance)
srvctl modify service -d < DB_NAME > -s < SERVICE_NAME > -n -i "INST1,INST2,INST3,INST4" (Addning instances to services)
srvctl config database -d < DB_NAME > -a (Check if your database is registered with OCR)
raclinux1$ srvctl status database -d gendb
