Hi Suresh,
If a resource is configured as non-critical (by setting the Critical attribute to 0) and no resources depending on the failed resource are critical, the service group will not fail over. VCS takes the failed resource offline and updates the group status to online|partial. The attribute also determines whether a service group tries to come online on another node if, during the group's online process, a resource fails to come online.
If you are agent is at least V51 or later you could also set the intentionaloffline attribute to 1.

If your Oracle agent is older than V51 I would suggest that you freeze the service group before you shutdown Oracle or even better write a script that the Oracle admin can execute which will stop Oracle using VCS commands, this way no problem at all is to be expected.
You could then make it available using sudo for example.
Hope this helps,
Dan
