You are correct, it is an unusual setup though, and as the whitepaper points out using clusterware to protect custom resources including single instance databases falls outside of support (as in oracle won't help troubleshoot the clustering of the database, they *will* support both the database and the cluster separately.

if you review the whitepaper you'll see that it uses custom start/stop scripts (in perl no less) to control the database. This is what you'll have to write yourself (or steal from the paper). srvctl is for oracle supplied and managed cluster resources.
