Stopping Oracle 11.2.1 RAC

Question

I am using Oracle RAC 11.2.0.1 two node cluster on OEL 5 64-bit.
I have few questions about the stopping and starting of Oracle RAC 11.2, please see my steps and questions:
Steps to Stop Oracle RAC:
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/emctl stop agent
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/srvctl stop database –d TESTDB
Change Oracle home to grid home:
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid
/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl stop asm
The following needs to be run on each of the nodes:
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/srvctl stop nodeapps -n test1
Then as root
Shut down the Oracle Clusterware or CRS process by entering the following command on all nodes:
(In grid home)
/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl stop crsSteps to Start:
As root:
/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl start crs
CRS-4123: Oracle High Availability Services has been started.
As oracle user from database home:
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
srvctl start nodeapps
Check services-
ps -ef | grep LISTENER ensure the listener and scan listeners are up.
ps -ef | grep <sid> ps -ef | grep asm
start agent on all nodes....
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/emctl start agent Are above steps right and complete? Am I mentioning the correct homes?
Thanks.

Shut down the Oracle Clusterware or CRS process by entering the following command on all nodes:
(In grid home)
do the following(as root user):
cd $GRID_HOME/bin
./crsctl stop cluster -all
In 11gr2 you can stop all resouces as below
<CRS_HOME>/bin/crsctl stop has
or you can stop in the following sequence
stop or relocate service using srvctl
stop instnace using srvctl
stop asm using srvctl
stop nodeapps using srvctl
stop cluster resources as root - <CRS_HOME>/bin/crsctl stop has
To start
<CRS_HOME>/bin/crsctl start has - it should bring all resources automatically.
