The svrmgrl program is in $ORACLE_HOME/bin. If you have more than one Oracle product installed you may have more than one ORACLE_HOME. Since you are running under UNIX or a variant thereof you should be able to use the following commands to find svrmgrl:

$ which svrmgrl

or

$ whereis svrmgrl

Either will find the program. The first will find it if you have a path to it. The second will find it regardless and should provide a full path to the program.
