After upgraded one of the development databases in our data center from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 as well as the ASM instance, i decided to spend some of my time to play with this new functionality.
As on the RAC installations status of the services can be investigated with the crs_stat -t command. I think it is understandable that there is not vip, ons, gsd services here as this is not a RAC database.

The processes of the CRS (it is "HAS" for single instance) is again controlled by crsctl as it is in the RAC installations. You can use check, start, stop options to manage the processes as usual. A small note; CRS processes in the RAC installation is not installed for the single instance installations. For the single instance installations, there is the HAS processes stands for "High Availability Services" and covers the cssd and diskmon processes.

[oracle@rhel6]:/oracle > crs_stat -t CRS-0184: Cannot communicate with the CRS daemon.
After my upgrade process Oracle Restart could not be able to manage the upgraded database. By using srvctl i added the database resource to the repository so that i can manage the database services by using srvctl command line tool. One of the nicest option is, by using the "-a" option and supplying dependent diskgroups of the database makes Oracle Restart to start the ASM and mount the related diskgroups before starting up the database.

Adds a database configuration to be managed by Oracle Restart.
Usage: srvctl add database -d db_unique_name -o oracle_home
[-m domain_name]
[-p spfile]
[-r {PRIMARY | PHYSICAL_STANDBY | LOGICAL_STANDBY | SNAPSHOT_STANDBY}]
[-s start_options]

[-n db_name]
[-y {AUTOMATIC | MANUAL}]
[-a "diskgroup_list"]
-d db_unique_name Unique name for the database
-o oracle_home ORACLE_HOME path
-m domain Domain for database. Must be set if database has DB_DOMAIN set.
-p spfile Server parameter file path
-r role Role of the database (primary, physical_standby, logical_standby, snapshot_standby)
-s start_options Startup options for the database. Examples of startup options are open, mount, or nomount.
-t stop_options Stop options for the database. Examples of shutdown options are normal, transactional, immediate, or abort.
-n db_name Database name (DB_NAME), if different from the unique name given by the -d option
-y dbpolicy Management policy for the database (AUTOMATIC or MANUAL)
-a "diskgroup_list" Comma separated list of disk groups
-h Print usage

The second handy feature is "enable" and "disable" of the srvctl which configures the related objects restart options on host restart or restart of the process on failure.
[oracle@rhel6]:/oracle > srvctl enable -h The SRVCTL enable command enables the named object so that it can run under Oracle Restart for automatic startup, failover, or restart. Usage: srvctl enable database -d db_unique_name Usage: srvctl enable service -d db_unique_name -s "service_name_list" Usage: srvctl enable asm Usage: srvctl enable listener [-l lsnr_name] Usage: srvctl enable diskgroup -g dg_name Usage: srvctl enable ons [-v] Usage: srvctl enable eons [-v]
Shutting down everything nicely with Oracle Restart.
