[oracle@rac1 bin]$ srvctl status database -d RAC
Instance RAC1 is not running on node rac1
Instance RAC2 is not running on node rac2
[oracle@rac1 bin]$

Start cluster database:

[oracle@rac1 bin]$ srvctl start database -d RAC
[oracle@rac1 bin]$ srvctl status database -d RAC

Stop an instance across cluster nodes:

[oracle@rac1 bin]$ srvctl stop instance -i RAC1 -d RAC
