As of Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.4 patch set) when RAC database is started with 'srvctl start database -d DBNAME', unfortunately, the associated database services do not startup automatially. Therefore, services must be started manually after the database startup. It could be painfull in some situations, like, when you have many databases running on RAC with daily or weekly cold backup schedule. When services are not up, clients unable to connect to the respective databsases, in case they use the service name to connect to the database.
A possible workaround is to write FAN server side callouts. You may download perl scripts, 'Start Services on Instance Up' from http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/rac/index.html. Its a smaple perl script which can be used to as a FAN Server Side callout to start services when an instanes up event is received on the node. You need to put the scripts under $CRS_HOME/racg/usrco. The PDF contains the procedure how to deploy the scripts, setting permission and other stuff.
In 11g, When services are already started on some remote nodes, then the startup of the instance on the local node will autostart the services on it.
