If you're not running RAC (know nothing about RAC or running it with Veritas), and every resource is really up, then just starting cluster (hastart) should do.. But it'd do this in off hours, something can always go wrong.. you might be able to start and freeze the group right away. Start cluster on the nodes that have the db's up first.

Question.. if you have Veritas.. why did you end up bringing things up manually?
