Findings :
1) As it is cluster nodes database , cross-checked the cluster parameters like cluster_interconnect,no of threads,cluster_dataabase etc.
2) Cross-checked the all cluster nodes are pinned to the cluster group.
Solution:
Here one node has not been pinned to the cluster group .
[oracle@ordbtest2 bin]$ ./olsnodes -s -t
ordbtest1 Active unpinned
ordbtest2 Active pinned
ordbtest3 Active pinned
So we have to pin the node from the available nodes either ordbtst2 or ordbtest3.
[root@ordbtest2 bin]# ./crsctl pin css -n ordbtest1
CRS-4664: Node ordbtest1 successfully pinned.
And now startup the database , it will start without any error.
